[AT] tire brand

[Cecil Bearden]

That advertisement is very interesting as it shows the Champion Open 
Center tire and the Champion Spade Grip at the bottom, but the tractor 
in the picture is not wearing either one.  The Champion Open Center in 
the lower picture appears to be the 23 degree tire in the early 
production,  and it looks to be a multi angle tire as the lugs appear to 
curve.   I would guess that the Open center became the 23 deg angle tire 
later in their advertising campaign.
