I have used an original 1943 bar thread mounted on a 900x16 battle wheel on a Dodge M43 ambulance.......something went bang like a shotgun..... we ran outside and half the tube had come out of a perfectly exploded rosette on the side wall..... never again.
I kept that old battle wheel with the tire carcass still mounted on it....

Dodge tires can be dangerous, stick to CMPs!
Oh, actually, the same can happen to CMP tyres. Perfectly good tread, sound-looking carcass, slow speeds ...... and Ka-blooey! The rule is: If it don't bounce or if it draws black lines like chalk, static display only!
