This totally captures the aspirational vibe of a burgeoning young car guy in the early 70’s. “I can’t have that Camaro with Polyglas tires yet, but I can have THIS.” Goodyear saw it too.

You’re exactly right, I always wanted but never got Cheater Slicks like some Huffys also Sears bikes had.
Amazing where values are w/ a lot of Muscle bikes now although it’s somewhat understandable.

Not sure who made the rear cheater slick style tire on my Huffy Dragster II. Mark (the fellow who restored it) said it was the hardest part to source.

Not sure why pics didn't load. Likely operator error.

Goodyear Blue Streak
 

NOS wrapped pair of 20” Goodyear Blue Streak Polyester bicycle tires.

In 45 years of collecting Schwinn Stingrays I’ve never seen another set like this.

Chris,
How long have you had those? WOW!

I had a Schwinn "LEMON PEELER" with a rear slick. I think it was a Goodyear but not positive.

A buddy had an Apple crate, I just had a $hitty Huffy. Did the the colored tires, anyone remember those.

The gateway drug before the white lettered muscle bike
