I remember reading waaay back what the model of this tire /
wheel was. I believe it might be discontinued.
Anyone know what it is?
Thanks!

Hello Diceman,
Refer to Trip Picture J5DRTDAY1 249.jpg.
Goodyear 2.80-4NHS. The "NHS" stands for "Not For Highway
Service". They went out of production like 25 Years ago and are
SUPER difficult to find. They where often used in Aviation and
some of my research indicated that they may have been used as
rear tires for the Rudder on small Aircraft. Start your search
there on the surplus market....Rare but sometimes you can also
find them on Ebay. As for the price....pay whatever you
must.....They ARE that rare!

We do have some of these tires, but nothing to offer to the
public as of right now. Our numbers are low as well. If you
are looking for a decent replacement my research has lead me to
these two manufacturers. They both are not cheap, but can/will
make 2.80-4 diamond tread tires.

/> (WRONG SIZE - BUT WILL MAKE 2.80-4 SPECIAL ORDER)

/>(NOT THE SAME KIND OF TIRE, BUT DIAMOND TREAD AND VERY SIMILAR
SIZE)
If I find anything else I will share it here.
