Looking to purchase vintage sandblaster western auto tires

[Shive62]

Like to purchase a set of vintage western auto tires. For my k5 blazer. I know it’s a longshot. My father was in charge of designing and selling those tires in the seventies.

When were they discontinued? I worked for Western Auto for a few years in the early 90's and I've never heard of that tire.

my dad worked for kelly Springfield and they made western autos tires. He was involved in the off racing tires the sandblaster tire . Dodge was the manufacturer and western auto sponsored the trucks. John baker was the driver. Tires were discontinued in the eighties. I got lots of good pictures of the truck and them being raced at the baja and other races.
