If you do want a vintage looking tire at a decent price, and performs well, check out these Avons: http://www.tiresunlimited.com/ALL%20TIRES/AVON/AVON%20MC/avon_speedmaster.htm

I know a few people who have used them and are quite happy with them..

If you go to the above link, you will see two yellow picture links that will give you an idea of what they look like....or google the image of the speedmaster or SM Mark II

There's a picture of the Avons on the AMT site:

They only offer the front, though.

Judging by the specs the tyre in @jay72chevy's post is of higher quality than the classic Avon Speedmaster Mk2.  AT $28, I'd say go for the Duro!

Avon Speedmaster MkII AM7 (from their site)....

Laugh at double wide tires if you will, but I shudder to think what the result would be if my 9,000 pound fifth wheel trailer lost grip in a corner at 70 mph..... Especially in the mountains.

just funnin. i speak as one from the inside of a trailer park...I was going to make fun of the golf cart tires, but the trailer won out...

Ok i saw the speed master with all the lines. That one was my first choice rating of S. The duro is looking better tho with a rating of H with the price of 28.. Thanks guys
