Duane, it's quite likely those "check mark" Goodrich's are the orginal tires. I say this because my Uncle bought a new H in 1950 and it had those type tires. I'm not sure when Goodrich stopped making that type tire, but they lost their popularity when Goodrich started making the tread pattern that was very similar to Goodyear's(and Firestone, later on)open center, 45 degree lug bar. Goodrich and Firestone deviated from the Goodyear design by using a curved lug bar whereas the Goodyear lug bar was virtually straight. The present Armstrong/Titan tires you see now are similar too, just a coarser tread pattern. Before the check shaped lug came out, Goodrich used a sorta straight bar lug that was "interrupted" from the Firestone straight bar lug connected zig-zag pattern, a tread that was open, but not in the center. This resulted in a sort of long lug-short lug alternating arrangement. Quite honestly, and 'ol Goodyear ain't giving me anything--Goodyear's Super Sure Grip were the best tires money could buy in those days, I think them babies would sell good today.
