hi does anyone know for certain what sort of years the tioga farmer john tyre was available? looked on bike pro and scanned google but i cant seem to find an answer. i was thinking early 90's and have had someone else suggest the same. the cousin came out in 91 so i am assuming the original was earlier.

i am looking to fit it to an 86 schwinn but want it to be periodish correct. ta lovies
 
To quote John Stevenson of MBUK " I had a farmer johns cousin throw me off in the MBC finals in 1987". So the cousin was avaiable then. The john must be like mid 80's. By 90/91 the "dawgs" were available. . .
 
cheers guys and top marks for the mombat link - that is awesome!
 
MOMBAT is my bible for period correct builds, especially with tyres that are notoriously hard to age correctly, Porc, Porc II, Porc 2 fret no more!
