So my WH tractor had original wheel horse tires on it... 1 of em still has air in it used on my 73! I figured I would take a picture of the 1 that is heavily cracked and dry rotted... as it going to the pile.. time for some new AG weighted tires!! 😀👍

Cool stuff. 

We have a front and a rear tire here that will eventually be repainted and a wall hanging.

You could do as Anthony Hopkins character did in The World's Fastest Indian when he was prepping the motorcycle for a run at Bonnieville - used black shoe polish to fill the cracks in so he could get through tech inspection.

The wheel horse ones are about 4 lbs heavier than the regular tire, I was gonna tube it and run it for the next 25 years!! There come she’s a fine line between tubing and too cracked and dry rotted...

Has anyone actually used this Flex paste or something else to fill cracks in old tires.
