I am curious about these hubless balloon tires I have. They dont appear to ever have had a hub in them. They look new. Have no brand name. Have no valve stem either, fill like a ball with a needle. 65" circumferance. Any body now what they are for? The first photo is the inflation needle hole.
Those atc front tires where ribbed like a tractor front. Not like a tractor front but same idea. I had a few atc90's and US90's and they also had hubs.
Hi,
i´m not sure but maybe its a possibility. Jiger once build the first vehicles with tires that had one screw in the middle. This could be the reason for the missing hub.
I have some them old jiger tires and they say jiger on them and the valve stem is in the hub. So I dont think its a jiger tire. Unless its another model or year of jiger.
Ok, then another idear, there must be a reason why the valve is not in the midle so maybe this tires are used as front tire of a trike. And such tires are not driven they only roll so they dont need to be fixed with screws.
Another possibilty is that this thing is no tire, it is a big rubber donut used as toy for giant dogs
Oh and another serious question, how did they mount the old double tires on vehicles like the amphicat? Maybe this could be such a double tire?
If all other possibilities had been ruled out, you were probably right!
I know i read to much Sherlock Holmes
i not sure, but looks to me like they have a 2 piece rim that bolts together. either with seperate bolts or with the lug nuts. i think that i have seen them some where, just can't remeber where or what on.
My only idea is that it must be off some old amphib that had a inner hub ring and and outter ring that pinched it together when fasten. That would explain why the valve stem is up in the tire. These have traction bars for drive tires, not ribs like a steer tire. So that is why I dont think the front tire on trike is correct. And I have had a few atc90 trikes and us90's and they all had 3 lug.
