U.s royal chain tread's?

[charliechaindrive]

I've had a decent set of these around for a while, and I've heard they're rare, but exactly how rare? I'll try to get a pic of them up soon.

Thanks in advance for any help.

They're probably pre-war, 2.125 in size.

I have a pair of US Royal Airflight whitewalls....were the original tires on a '64 Schwinn Twinn I rescued last year.

These are mounted on a pair of metal clad rims with morrow hubs. The wheels were on an ancient schwinn excelsior

If they are lightly used and not too excessively dry rotted, I would say they are worth about $25-$40 each. Honestly, I value them the same as any other used pre war tire. Other opinions may vary.

Nope, 26' ers

I have a few US Royal Chain tires. pretty neat idea for a tread pattern..

26" ballooner pair

26" skinny size clincher

28" singletube

anyone ever seen one of these Allstate tires? this one has a bad slice in the sidewall but I still cant toss it...

Hey waker, you've got quite a few really neat sets of these! And I seen the whitewall set of bf goodrich's in your collection too.

Don't know much about the one tire there, but the tread pattern is wicked cool :!:

that's just what's hanging in the basement, there's a pile in the bike shed too! New England is pretty tough on the old bikes, most of the time tires end up being junk but every now and then something turns up that is worth saving.

Hey walker. I think I have one of those Allstate tires in nos condition. Pretty sure that is the pattern.

My collection of tires, only has 3 matching pairs. The rest are loose, mismatched pairs.

I've got two practically new tires, one schwinn typhoon cord and a carlisle lightning dart. Unfortunately, the mate's I have for them are pretty worn

I was fortunate to pick up a 40's elgin over the summer with a pair of nearly new Schwinn Typhoon cord tires on it. they still had the "nubs" on the as they say. not being a schwinn guy I sent them off.

Lucky, I got one of mine at an auction. And the other on a post war hawthorne. ( the good one was on the hawthorne)

Still have yet to add an elgin to my stable
