What C1 uses US Royal Safety 800 tires?

[Troy P.]

I bought US Royal Safety 800s for my 1954 back in 1990. I think back in those days the 53-55 NCRS Judging Manual listed the 3 tire suppliers but not the models of the tires...or I didn't pay attention. Turns out the correct US Royal tires for my car are "Air Ride".

The whitewall width is 2 3/4", are tubeless and they have been used 35 miles. Best I can tell they are non-DOT tires. I'm curious if these Safety 800 tires are judging correct for any C1?

"Air Ride" is in all 1953-62 TIMJG. "Safety 800" is not mentioned in any of those Guides.

1963 used the U.S. Royal Safety 800 and they have a 7/8" whitewall.

Bummer. I was hoping some other member could use them.
