Ha..John, I doubt if anyone remembers the "Cross Ply" tyres. But just give those "old" tyres a good check for cracks/splits and bumps on the side wall before go "racing". In some sense it is true that the "old" tyres are much more hard wearing because the high contents of rubber instead of silicon compounds, but they don't handle as well nor last. They used to have steel mesh belt in the tyres instead of nylon now a day.
