Those old Martins were fantastic tires. The only complaint was that after sitting they would have flat spots until the tires warmed up.

They wore far better than any bias ply tire and approached radial tires for longevity. I knew people who put over 30,000 miles on a set of Martins.

There is a story behind the Martin Tire Company and what happened to it, but I don't recall the details.

They sure don't build em like that anymore.
