My neighbor gave me a set of white SWALLOW BRAND TIRES today,size 20x1.175. They look a lot like Snake Belly tires. Never heard of them before.

I had some swallow cruiser tyres back in the early 80's...They had a smooth line down the centre,which made any street riding a treat..The grip on the sides held up fine once on the dirt...Not comp 3 standard but good skinwalls back then for me..

That's what can happen when you bail in front of your moto...you swallow tires!

Just wanted to mention that Swallow big knobbies came stock on some 1980 Mongoose Motomags. I recently acquired a bone stock 80 goose and it had swallow knobbies.

For some reason, Swallow and Duro get a bad rap.

No shame in these tires!
