I have just acquired two never used Ohtsu rear tires for my US90. I even had to take the stickers offthe side wall to clean them up. They were in a guys shed for the last 30 something years and i bought them immediately upon discovery. I have my engine completed and have been piecing the rest together little by little. I know these tires are stupid rare and obviously valuable given their amazing condition.

I can't decide if I want to sell to fund my restoration and use modern tires. Or keep and hunt down a front. Thoughts? Opinions? I am new to this site.

I'm with "Jwheeler" lets see pic's. What type of wheels/tires are you thinking if not the balloon tires? I don't want to get into a bidding war but might me able to make a possible trade, I'd like them for my '74 Daytona Orange ATC90.

That is a good question. I have not decided just yet. I bought them to use on my restoration. But, i would like to ride my Wheeler as well. I am debating whether I want to complete the resto as all original and sit and look at it. Or, customize and use it. Hmmmmmm. It took me a long time to find these tires. I couldn't justify riding on them given their rarity.

I am jealous that you are small enough to ride a 90! That wouldn't move with me on it. Lol

I won't be breaking any records on it, but it goes. I ran it before tearing it down and it pushed me no problem. I am over 200lbs, didn't seem to struggle. I am not a speed freak, I drive fast for a livin, so no need to do so on my off time. I would rather just look cool. LOL!
