6815 Rear Tire Question

[aeiou]

I recently purchased a NIP #6815 rear tire set. When I bought them, I assumed they would be an exact match to the original kit tires. However, these tires do not have “Team Associated” or the "ae" logo on the sidewall. In fact, there are no markings on the sidewall at all. The tires are the same size, tread pattern, etc. as the kit tires, yet they have a slightly thinner inside bead (I hope that makes sense).

As best as I can tell, these are authentic AE packaged parts with the white and blue, East Edinger cards. I exchanged a couple of emails with AE’s support folks (with photos) and they said that they had sold tires like this in the past, thought they were most likely authentic parts, but could offer no further details.

Have any of you folks seen these before?

Thanks.

they had them both ways. earlier kits had no writing on them.

I confirm, if ever a Scr8p's information has to be confirmed
