Here's a tire I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to purchase. The previous owner/rider is a well known master pipe builder.
Here is Kenny Roberts at his craft.

This tire was mounted on Kenny's ATC 250R for quite a while. I saw a picture of it and new it was special due to the red/pink-ish stripe on the side wall. I'm told by a former team rider that color signifies extra plies in the tire. This is a sneaky trick works tire that reads 23.5X8-11, but is fat and lower profile while still being for a stock rim. The very outer most nobbies were buffed off to help clear the forks.Here it is compared to a stock Ohtsu. This tire never had dimples like a stocker, only 3 narrow wear dimples. The tire does have wear and a little bit of dry/weather cracking, but I was real happy to persuade it off Kenny's bike. I traded him a NOS tire to keep his machine track worthy. Thanks Kenny! :beer
