They are Firestone brand, and came out of Norway.

Hope this helps,

Even though those tyres look to be in good shape, they may have been in storage for 50 years . I would not use them myself unless I could verify that they are of recent manufacture . Those Firestones may have canvas/cotton layers in them, the cotton tends to rot over time. A sudden blow out could have nasty results .

I did by some new MRF 900-13's and also a few new OLYMPICS that were advertised in the Weekly Times by a agricultural tyre dealer
