I always wondered how Dodge tires would look on a Jeep; now I know.

I am confused too. I bought Firestones from Lucas tire and they have the pointed tread indents?

I'll stick with Good Years for 6.00 X 16 NDT authenticity as they were the most widely used on new Jeeps of the 40's.

First off I appreciate everyone's input on these other NDT tire brands. I too was curious about them and in doing my own research found another NDT that I couldn't find a single real photo of or a single review of. The low resolution stock photo of the tire looked good so I decided to gamble and order 1 just to find out what the heck it was. This is the European Classic Brand 6.00 16 NDT. I purchased it because in the stock photo I saw no ugly sidewall markings and most importantly NO WEAR BARS! I ordered it from Performance Plus Tire exactly 1 year ago. Manufacturer Part Number EC60016 The cost was $89 plus $2.49 insurance and $9.95 handling. Making this 1 tire $101.44 delivered to my door.

First impressions are it is VERY HEAVY. Super Thick Sidewalls. I have a feeling this tire might wear like iron. Tread Depth was 0.48 inches.
So far my only complaint was it appears to be undersized. When I first received the tire I thought it looked narrow. I don't have any current goodyear or firestone reproductions to compare it to so I compared it to original tires I have from 3 different manufacturers.

Hope those pictures are helpful to someone. Also I guess the Speedways and Deestones aren't DOT approved. Well these apparently are DOT approved.

I am not enrolled in google so I can't see pics, which to do would means another set of passwords, names, etc security risk for my computer.
The integrity of the member of g503 I am sure is ok, but I am reluctant to enroll

Why, on earth, are you guys resurrecting and adding onto a thread that has been cancelled and no longer even has a title?
Start a new one!

Good question.

I'd be interested in knowing the plant code on the 'European Classic' to know the actual manufacturer and the plant location.
My bet is India or China.
