Are there any antique tire collectors out there, or old tire collector clubs? There's lots of tire sign collectors but how about old tires themselves?

I'm kind of a closet tire collector. I like to have NOS tires in my tire display stands. Are you looking for antique tires?

I think corker tire has somewhat took the thrill out of old tire collecting. Heck of a vision on his part to buy up all those old molds.
Working in firestone factory half my life, I can't help but have a interest.

I have two original Mobil tires that came with a bunch of 1936 chevrolet parts. Not sure if they are road worthy but they would look great in a tire display stand. And an original 36 chevy spare tire and rim that supports my Pegasus cookie cutter sign

I have an original Flying A "Air Wing" Tubeless Tire from the late 1950s... And have been outbid on another... So, I must admit I have been afflicted with the "bug"!...

I'm trying to find a few tires to match some tire signs & clocks that I have. Such as "Vacuum Cup", "McCreary" & "Badger". I'm talking tires from the 20's and 30's. Also, I know that this is really a stretch, but would be great to find a "Zev" cord tire made by Union Rubber Co. that was in our local town in late 20's. Sam

This is what I did with my favorite clock & matching tire a few years ago. Thought I'd try some more, maybe, if I'm lucky!

I would say I probably have the only Rapson Tyre in the U.S,
it is from the early 20s.
Looking for anything to do with The Rapson Tyre Co.

Here is one of my favorites, a Goodyear Suburbanite snow tire with raised lettering in the wide whitewall.
Sam, I do have some of the skinny 20s-30s tires with unique tread designs. But I don't have the brands you mentioned above.

Don't want to give my age away, but I remember my dad using the "Suburbanite" tires on his vehicles. He never had whitewalls though!!

I picked up this new old stock K.S. tire and stand at a swap meet for $35.00 and added the sign for looks. Tire still has nubs on it. Looks great in front of my Texaco station.
