I know nothing about these. Claims to have unpatched tires that hold air.

Tires worth anything?

Might offer $800 but he wants more. I just dont see it, but if the tires are worth something ridiculous.....I would sell it.155383155384

After looking around the rear dont look to be OEM?

If you can get that thing for $800, that is a steal..IDK what those tires are bringing these days, but a few years ago there were stories of them bringing 300$ each tire.
Would be a shame to part it though. That is a nice US 90

Those are not the original rear tires originals were made by Ohtsu, they are Firestone or some sort of aftermarket ones. The original had a "zig-zag" design and not a "V". Still a nice Trike and a nice set of vintage tires.

Well ...I'm not so interested. It's on Detroit craigslist for $950.

I agree. If the seat is as good as it looks and the front fender is dent free like it appears, it's worth every penny. The front tire looks good and the rear tires are nice even though they're Firestones. Lots of folks wouldn't catch that they aren't aoriginals. Maybe use that as a bargaining tool if you feel you need to beat him down.

i also agree. the front fenders are metal and it very hard to find them without rips in them from people running into stuff. that also means it probably wasnt ridden very hard. also good not to have any cracks in the back fender since it is fiberglass. that tank looks really nice also. i already have one, but this looks to be in better shape than mine. if i was closer, id buy it and put mine on ebay. you could get your money back out of it on ebay. the original Ohtsu tires are worth much more. i think the firestones are good as is for a "rider" trike, but collectors dont want firestones.

plus front tires are worth alot since they only made half as many! that IS the OEM front tire!
