you can buy brand new gus tires and still have enough money for a good dinner with the change!!
chern shins or gus tires both very good.
chens used to be cheap now not so much.
gus tires should get our support imho.

Sorry. The sizes are:

N.O.S. - one 11 x 6.00 - 5 & two 11 x 4.50 - 5.
Used -  three 11 x 6.00 - 5 & two 11 x 4.50 - 5.

One of the 6.00's has a whimpy bead that won't hold air without a tube. That's why I had to use one of the new ones (running tubeless) for one race. The rest of the used ones have four race meets on them (as I recall, but that was a long time ago and my memory isn't what it used to be).

The rubber depth on the new ones is 5/32". The used 6.00 with one race also has 5/32, in fact you can still see the mold line (which makes sense since the one race was was a sportsman sit-up on the Louden road course where there's not a lot of high G corners). The other two 6.00's have 4/32. The used 4.50's have 4/32 to 5/32.

So now I just have to figure out what a fair price is so I can list them for sale.
