What keeps them from falling out? a bracket or frame in the tire? maybe attached with magnets? How to mount them on a wall? you know to cover up the bad spots.... here is the pics, ok so I didn't clean them yet...jeez I've only had them for 25 years or more sleep











The Mickey Thompson's are the coolest! tt wink

Seems like I've seen round aluminum holders for those with 4 tabs for holding a sign like that in the tire opening.

Were they part of the tire stand? did they hold both? or were they one sided?? drawing a blank on how they fit.

Here are a couple photos from eBay, with the type of inserts I am most familiar with... Inserts, where the tabs are part of the insert:

Bob, That is what I looked for, but no signs of tabs, so that is the reason question.

A lot of them were made to fit inside the tire, for display/sales purpose.

Terry, they would not fit the bead very well, not really any marks to say here is where the clamps held it in. strange!
