About Willsey's tires but never have seen them. I have seen some of Don's tires though!
I was told one time by someone that they (Chris & Don) got them all 19.5 traction tires left.
I always remembered that till one day I went to this Firestone store for something else and got to talking with the onwer about other things for a while.
Anyway I walk out the door and about ten feet later it hit me. That I was just in a firestone store and never asked about tires. This firestone store looked like it was built in the 40's and I was about a 100 miles or better from the interstate, so I turn around walked back in the store the guy says did you forget something??
I said yes I did, "I never asked you if you have any 8-19.5 traction tires"?? He said how many do you want?? Anyway it turns out he only had one but his brother in the next town over had a set of four. I think I gave $60 per tire.
Last summer I found the five goodyears I have in a old goodyear store. I drove by the goodyear store and thought you know that store looks so damn old that I should stop and ask. so I turned around went in and tell the guy what I was looking for he said "Your looking for Dinosaur's eggs", but yeah we have a set of five.
It always pays to stop, but it does take a lot of time. It has got to the point were I cant hardly drive by a firestone or goodyear store, when in BFE!! And Don & Chris got them all.
