Caesar 4.00-6 Tire Is it from the 1970's?

[FunWithStuff]

Hello!
I purchased this tire for a 1972 Cat mini bike a while back. It has a Caesar tire on it and I've never seen one before. I'm wondering does anyone know if this might be the original tire for this wheel (as in is it from the 70's meaning it's more than likely the original)? If it's a 70's era tire I was going to keep it on as this is going to be a survivor bike not a rider. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The answer is yes. It's from the 70s. I've found Original Ceasars on survivor Cats.

Bad sidewall cracking. I would not use a tire in that condition on ANY bike that will be ridden, even a "survivor" bike.

Yeah I noticed it's pretty rough. Pretty unfortunate because it's not everyday you get an original tire for a mini bike. Thanks for you response!
