Armstrong Norseman tredloc. Anyone have any pics, looking at a used set. Any opinions on them. I understand they are not around anymore, and may be the old Mickey Thompsons? I would love some feedback on this. I do mostly pavement with the occasional trail run, oh and don't forget I up North here so winter is an issue. Thanks all

Weren't the old armstrongs very similar to BFG All Terrains? Not sure if that's true, just what Ive heard... :dunno:

Edit, found info googling.

I have a set that are about 29 inches tall. They are my garage rollers on a set of axles that are going on a flatfender I am building up. They look alot like the Dick Cepek FC IIs but with a larger "void" between the lugs. They are pretty aggressive looking but that look pretty old school. From the sounds of it, they haven't been made in a while, so you might wanna give them a good looking over before you buy them. I know on the set that I have they look ok but when you pull on the lugs, you can see there is some dry rotting at the bottom of the lugs. I can snap some pictures tomorrow if you want.
