Can anyone identify this tire.

Trying to figure out what tire this bike has on the back. Looks like a Firestone I-5 directional AG tire. Its a 5 rib for sure. Anyone ever see one like this in a 16-300? Maybe someone with a better computer can blow up the middle pic and actually read the thing, cause I sure can't.

The 3 letters above the down tubes in the back are GOO Goodyear ???

Do like the velocity stacks. Sure wish someone could make those out of plastic cheap.

I kind of thought the same thing, but Goodyear usually has the wing between good & year and you would think year would be somewhat visible below the tube. But this bike was built in Japan I think so who knows what corporate logos look like in other countries.

It's probably a Goomonth or a Hotrock brand tire.

The HP is indicative of Goodyear.

I think this may be the tire. looks like its an 18x3.5 which would fix an 18" XS rim does that look like and 18? Looks like a 16" to me...

Closest I've seen to the back tire on the hardtail.

Ok, it is available in 16" but 6.5 seems a shade to wide.

Requires a 4" rim vs. 2.15" 650 rim

Yeah Coker was the first place I looked, Im pretty sure its an AG tire and not a real cycle tire. It looks like to me that it doesn't have the Z pattern between the ribs. Looks like a REALY narrow directional floatation tire.

Yeah it would be a lot balloon-ier if that was it. But I did find that that tire does come in quite few more sizes and is "highway" rated.
