Tonti Frame Style Tires: Formula Brand?
Antietam Classic Cycle:
Googling a bit, the only reference I found was a National Tire advertisement from 1980. Hope they're not that old. :o
Groover:
They could be I suppose... they don't have any cracks and the rubber feels... not so old!
They are inline for replacement for sure ;D

Yeah. That's why I suggested checking the date code. I think they may be vintage.

Yep, and why I mentioned checking the date code 42 seconds before you. ;D
lomax:
Hard to tell as that is not a DOT date code, but I am guessing they were built the 14th week of 2009 ???
I personally have found that while vintage tires look good they handle like sht. Look into Perreli sport demons or Avon Roadriders and be safe ;-T
i currently have these on my older bikes and really like them.
My R50/2 has Heidenau vintage tires on it, brand new, and when you hit the cement rain grooves the bike is all over the road. It WILL be getting new tires come the winter tear down.
