Should get some warranty on this

jon f mn · Jun 27, 2023

The tire blew while unloading the last load of feed. I sure it's original to the grinder/mixer made in 1968 or 69. Hopefully they cover it under warranty. Ever seen this brand before?

Can't say I've seen that name, but the tread looks familiar.

I've seen some, really old. Somewhere along the way they changed their name to Uniroyal.

Throw a tube in it and run it.

Jon: I did a little looking, US Royal became Uniroyal in 1961, By 1967 all various labels were changed to Uniroyal. They did advertise guaranteed for the life of the tread. Suppose you should see if they still honor that? LOL Leroy

Yup some older tires were the US royal company then later became the Uniroyal tire. Had a local dealer for them back then. Not sure with the way things have changed if they are still a dealer for them or not. They also had a so-called self sealing tire back then was called the royal seal or something like that. They used to have a billboard along I-94 near Ecorse road in the metro Detroit area that had a tire with a nail in the top to show the self sealing part of it. I think it was called puncture proof or something later on.

My 1940 M had 13.6x38 U.S. Royals when I bought it. Don't know when those were mounted, but the previous owner got ALL the goody out of them. Still have them I think, leaning against the junk pile behind the shed.

U.S.Royal masters were the tire to have back in the fifties and sixties if you had a Cadalac Buick or Olds.

They became Uniroyal & I know there was a plant in Eau Claire.

Also, that mixer was produced back when you could order them without tires & mount your own you had at home.

U. S. Royal was a key player in the tire industry back in the bias era and later Joined with another company to form UniRoyal (I guess otherwise why change your name) and stayed a prime supplier during the US Radial beginning. Ran them on some of my cars. I think I still have a set on a set of late 1980-90s Aluminum wheels from a GM vehicle....don't remember just which one....still have them in the barn for implement replacements, tires still on the GM wheels. Don't know when they co-mingled or threw in the towel.

Uniroyal Tiger Paws were excellent. Michelin owns them now.

The first car I ever owned had a set of Dominion Royal Master tires on it, this would be in the mid-60's. They were newer tires, certainly not the originals on the 51 Chrysler I owned (and paid $115 for). I still have the bill of sale. Check out the link below ..... lots of Dominion Royal collectible stuff on EBay. Having the word DOMINION in the brand, I suspect it was a Canadian thing (ie. the old Dominion of Canada .... one of Britain's remote 'outposts' on the planet).

U.S. Royal (later Uniroyal) had a large plant on E. Jefferson in Detroit, Mi. I can recall riding past it as my parents went to my maternal Grandma's place which was further east on Jefferson Avenue. I remember the smell more than the plant itself! I think it closed in the late 70's.

I can remember that Ferris Wheel from a film about the World's Fair we were shown in grade school. Imagine my surprise when I saw it again back in 1979 during a trip to Detroit. Of course it now said 'UNIROYAL'. The tire sat at the intersection of I-94 and the Southfield Freeway, where it remains today.

Well they were used car tires originally: I've got a 6 bolt rim with235/75 /15 car tire that would work. I remember putting a new set of US Royal Tiger Paws on my 63 Buick Riveria about 1970 and they would work also.
