I remember seeing that type of tire on stovebolt trucks back in the 1950's and 60's. They're typical bias-ply pickup tires. Unless somebody's going to use them on a trailer queen or a museum piece, don't install them on anything. They definitely don't need to be put on a vehicle that travels on the public roads. I was involved in manufacturing tires for several years, and rubber definitely has a relatively short shelf life. Tires that are not run on the road regularly deteriorate faster than ones that get exercised every few days.
