Wish I had a picture to show you, but I don't. Anyway, bear with me as this could take some explaining. I'll try to be as explicit as possible: When I was a kid, before I was old enough to drive, there was a guy in my town that had a semi-hopped up/never finished ( sound familiar ?) '65 Chevy van. Loved it. Porthole windows, jacked up in the rear, baby moons up front, slots in the back, Starsky and Hutch stripe, ...... sorry, getting off topic here; anyway, he was running tires I had only ever seen once before. Picture this: they weren't whitewalls, weren't white lettered, but sort of a double-rowed rectangular boxed-wall, if there's such a thing. Okay. Imagine a narrow whitewall, about an inch or so, but instead of the white being a solid, it was comprised of a series of a few dozen little rectangular boxes with spaces between them, so when the vehicle was in motion it appeared to be a whitewall, but as the vehicle slowed to a near stop it became appearant that the wall wasn't solid but rather this series of rectangular boxes that circumferenced the sidewall. Can't remember if these boxes were solid or hollow. O.K., does anyone know what I'm talking about or do I have to time travel to 1975 and ask the guy myself ? Li'l help here.
