Does the side wall have 'Shinko Rubber Co' embossed on it? The earliest GT tyres were made by them.
Is the GT 'leaning' forward (
GT
), or 'sat back'?

im not to fussed but didnt want to put them on a mid school street bike then
have the cops round
plus if they are not coming up that often damage them anymore
as they could go on a correct era ride.

They sound like late 80's-early 90's.
There was a Shinko one on ebay last week (purple) so you could compare to, but I can't find it now.

Like Moose says Dan, they are 90's, defo not Shinko...the 'GT' on the tread was different on Shinkos (not as nicely formed).
A great find though fella - don't see many 2.1's around now!
