They look a bit like record breaking tyres.
What's the word before Arkansas?

Sorry,the last pics didn't show first time for some reason.
Those tyres were made in the basement of this museum.

Winthrop Rockefeller built it,as he thought it would increase local interest in industry and comerce.He then went round buying old cars to display in there.
Antique car cars started visiting,and told Rockefeller of the problems they face getting old style tyre sizes.Post WW2,the production of old typr tyres had not been restarted,and old stocks had been used up,or scraped for the war materials drive.
He bought some molds and started producing the tyres,the symbol on the tyres is the museum badge.A member of the AACA says Rockerfeller lost money on every tyre,but wasn't concerned.The molds are now on display at the museum.
