Any of you Canadians remember Tornado bias plies (then eventually radials) that were available only at Canadian Tire years ago ? Just a guess, but I'd say they were around from maybe '73 or '74 until around '83. It seemed like a lot of guys had them. Nice white-lettered font on the sidewalls, especially the bias plies. For you non-Canadians , Canadian Tire was once our mecca of auto parts, tools, and guy stuff. Now it's a cross between Walmart and Home Depot with a bit of car stuff hidden in the corner of their stores. Anyway, I never owned a set and I even had a Canadian Tire store call their head office to see if there were any Tornado tires still hidden away anywhere at a warehouse or in a back room of one of their locations, but no dice. In fact, the girl I was talking to had no clue what I meant by "Tornados"...... she must have been under 35. So, anyone ever run a set or see any pop up at swap meets ? Curious.
