Old NDCC Tires - are they worth anything?

Post by tdavis »

I have some old - from the 1950's and 1960's - NDCC tires on my rims that I need to remove. The rims are going to get blasted and painted and new tires on them.

Are the old tires worth anything (please see pics)? If not, I am going to use my jigsaw on them. If they are worth something, someone let me know and I will try to use more care in removing them.

I'd chuck the recap and the bald one. The other two would have some value depending on date to someone wanting a properly dated tire mounted as a spare on a show jeep.
