Are smooth tires actually correct for a '15? I really don't know, but am curious nonetheless.
For that matter, in what year did the white tires quit being put on the T?

yes all four are smooth. info is here on MTFCA website. look at Encyclopedia and look at info for wheels 1917 / 1918 . it states tires smooth until later 1916 when front tires remain smooth but rear are now treaded

looks like natural rubber ( not really white ) was used until about 1925

Randy,
I have a set of Universal tires. They do say "Universal" on the sidewall, along with the size markings.
