stock CA77 tires

Post by mattc » Sun Mar 16, 2014 3:22 pm

I recently saw a CA77 with stock looking tires on it, they were the thin whitewall type that began in 1965, but instead of the tires being NITTO brand, they were MILLION brand. Was MILLION an aftermarket tire from the 1960's or did Dreams come stock with both Nitto and Million tires, the tread patterns are identical? Thanks

That is a new one, never heard of Million on any bike before.

BTW, I still have my original stock Nitto's up in the attic. I should put them on ebay.

I have a 300x19 Universal Tread MILLION tire.
Rather than White Wall it has a White Black checker pattern in the usual WW AREA. ..........lm

I had some NOS million tires in 3.00x18 size. They also had the checkered whitewall.

We're talking about 16's for a CA right?

original dream tires

Recently bought a pair of CA77 tires from Smalltires.com with the same tread design called "Golden Boy".
Noticed American Pickers episode where they bought a light up Firestone motorcycle tire sign from the 30's that had the identical tread design. Oldie but goodie design.
