Nice fish Stewy. We raise those in our home acquariums here in Texas for bait. We usually use a couple of them on the hook.

Roy, you have been gone so long you need to start over on posting. Saw your post and thought you were a new guy, forgot you I guess. Welcome back!

And.... does it still hold air?

Re: Removing Original 40+ Year Old Tire From Wheel

Yep.

We had to let the air out to remove it from the rim (I tried to capture it but it got away).

She was up to 50 psi to assure a good reseal...measures 28 psi and actually fits in the tub and allows the board to fully seat.

Stewy, I'm still looking for that crack....and I never tyre of yours.

Where did you find such a good looking tyre ??

Re: Removing Original 40+ Year Old Tire From Wheel

I've got a friend in California by the name of David who has just about anything you need for Vettes. If you are interested, you can find him in Gardena.

Hope that helps. Yes, its a great old tyre...uh...tire.
