I am getting close to buying tires. I need to get the front and rear axle back from the shop where they are getting new bearings and seals.
Will post up a few photos when things start rolling again - literally!

Rumor has it that Goodyear 7.00-16 NDCC may become available in 2027 for those of you that want the original design.

Interesting. The firestones are around $250. I keep waiting for a sale.

Re: Firestone versus STA NDT Tires
I know this is an old thread but I agree about the NDCC tires being terrible on wet pavement. The STA Traxion tires on their website show different tread designs and tube and tubeless. Can tubeless tires be mounted on the existing rims or no? And which 6x15 tire is the one that people are using successfully? What did a set of four run you mounted? Thanks.

Yes it is possible with some rims that are in very good shape. But often they still allow very slow leakage.
