A lot of people run Comp 3 type tyres in the 80's.

TBH you would use whatever wasn't fooked half the time.

Yep,you did see alot of comp 3's being used in freestyle early on cos there werent really any alternatives in 82ish.I seem to remember Craig Campbell running them on his t/a when he was on Skyway.I personally hate to see knobbly tyres on a freestyle bike,just doesn't look right imo.By the time the Trick Star came out in 84 there were comp st's and the like!

Comp 3's (or that style) were about all you could get and it was only when people started looking for freestyle tyres that anyone made anything more specific.
I started out with all black Michelin street tyres, then shopers of the same make or Kenda and then I think GT brought out their tyre. Not sure if they were supposed to be a freestyle tyre but I found them better for some tricks.
When I dug my bike out years later it still had the GT tyres on it but the sidewalls were a bit perished, back to shopper tyres for now !
