race TRAX

[carpenter]

I recently bought some (very nice) Mavic G40 27" wheels. They came with "race TRAX" tyres which are in excellent condition, does anyone have any information on this tyre?
I intend putting Panaracer Passela tyres on the wheels (gum walls), but the current tyres have interested me.

How about a picture of the tyre wall with "race TRAX" on it?

Will try tomorrow in decent light - although black wall tyre with embossed lettering may not show up too well,
no other information on tyre wall apart from:
32 - 630 (27 x 1 1/4 FIFTY) GS - 701 - 02 and further along: inflate to 70 psi - max 5.0 BAR
(Pressure recommendation seems rather low for modern tyre built for clinchers, so I am assuming that, despite it's excellent appearance, it may be quite an old tyre?)

The Mavic G40 rims are 1980s vintage. Maybe the tyres are from that era too.

Cheers, that makes sense (for thirty odd year old tyres they are in incredible condition).
