Re: Back to the past
Tom,
Some very nice photos there.
Please, someone, advance my education concerning the third photo. What are the strips between the tire and rim, and WHY are they there? I've never seen anything like that before. I'm sure there's a good reason; I do not know what it is.
Thank You

Re: Back to the past
It appears the side wall blew out and they stitched it back to the wire bead?

Re: Back to the past
John, you may be right about the stitching. But that is a beaded edge clincher tyre. They do not have wire in the beads because the tyre has to be stretched over the rim to fit it. The first T cars to have straight sided tyres, with wire in the beads, was the 21" wheeled 26-7 cars with split rims or wire wheels. The TT's had straight sided tyres on the back wheels before the cars got them.
