I was using them on my UO-8 at the time ('67+). They were the only tires that would hold 90 lb. on the steel rims. When they were closing out I bought my stash of four tires. I was in high school back then and couldn't afford more. They lasted a few years, riding them till they were baloney skins. Great tires and I still think the Peugeot UO-8 was one of the better riding gas pipe framed bikes around.
Happy trails,

Seems we all have different remembrances about these. I remember they rim cut in a blink (So maybe thats what the boot comment related to) About 1975 or so I had a chance to buy a NOS Carlton Pro plus maybe 20
of those tires still wrapped up from Hennie Koolhover at his shop way out on Lincoln (Lincoln Cyclery) in San Francisco. I wanted the bike but didnt want those tires (who knew??) but $250 was a weeks pay then. I recall he just used them as replacement tires on
bikes he would repair.
