About the tires
First I've already gotten several interesting e-mails about the pictures and will add more info and interesting links to BC history web sites as they come in.
About the tires, I have gone back to the higher resolution pictures and it appears that there was a mix of road, chevron, and non-directional military.
Jeep in #2 had non-directional no surprise
Gun in #3 has chevron, looks like all the guns do
First 3 Trucks in # 8 have chevron tires
#10 truck nearest the camera has chevron as do the two FATs in center possibly the truck in between them as well
Nevertheless, the regular highway truck tires do seem to dominate. Had a set of these on my HUP at one time and must say that they are much better riding than any of the non-directions I’ve ever had.
