identify tires whith schrader valves

Post by mplumb »

Did all these goodyears come with Schrader valves? I have some new old stock tires and they appear to have come with new valves. I know I have seen inquiries of the air filled wheels and tires so is there a difference? What wheels/rims are used? What are these tires worth?

Lance Love was at one time filling the tires with air. What they did was put a plastic sleeve over the wheel halves to make a bead lock on the inside of the rim when you bolted them together. He drilled a hole in the wheel and through the sleeve. They then threaded in the shrader valve. To fill, you simply blew air at the valve with a blow gun and it let in enough air.
