Never heard of Kings, but I would question there age, especially out
of the salvage house. Old rubber can look good but gets very hard
with age, and can be deadly slippery in the right(wrong) conditions.
I have had experience with this with some cheap tires I got from JC
whitney years ago and also with bikes that have been in storage for
years. Sounds like a good price, they may just be a china dunlop
kinda like the old 755 chicken-skins china metzlers that I have used
for years in the dirt. gluck
