Re: Yokohama Teflons
Were these the tyres we referred to as 'Nagasaki No Grips' Garry ?

The tolling of the iron bell,
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

TBH Paul when I first got the bike my first thought was to bin them but on closer examination there is hardly any wear or cracking and they look more like a couple of years old rather than 40!.
Might leave them on and buy a Matching period Tassled Leather Jacket, Flares and a cut off Wrangler.

Amazingly now Japanese tyres are highly rated, especially in the car world, that said I prefer either Bridgestone or Michelin depending on the bike

Re: Yokohama Teflons
it tells you on the side of the tyre when it was made.
Look for a string of letters and numbers that start with 'DOT..........'
The DOT....... might be on both sides of the tyre but the date of manufacture will only be on one side, at the end of the string.
The last four numbers are the week and year of manufacture.
