Gum Dipped Tires?

I don`t know what "gum dipped" tires are, but if you look at older Firestone tires, they have a "gum dipped" logo on the tire.
 
Firestone dipped the cord in gum rubber before it was woven into a tire casing. It was claimed to help adhesion of the rubber to the cord in the completed tire. The importance of getting those things to stick together seems to have been missed in the Firestone 500 tire.

9.5 didn't exist as a tire size when the Super A was built, so I don't think those tires quite qualify as "original" on that tractor.
