Has anyone ever notice two different consistencies of rubber for tire #3139?
It seems like it should be two different parts but there seems to be no way to
differentiate in the catalog.

nope. 3139 with no number, has a hard shiny and a soft dull variety. it may just
be age, but it really seems like two different materials to me.

Then I think you are right that there is no way to differentiate from a catalog
point of view but as edk said the best we can do is add a note to the listing.

Yes, along with the small staggered tread tire. When I list these I leave the
stiff ones on and sell as a wheel/tire assy. I do not think they should be listed
as 2 variations, just add a note to the catalog listing.

I mean, that a solution of a sort, but it's a bit shoddy in the long run.
i do that from time to time, but it can really hold up sales when a customer
comes along not understanding the difference one seller shows that others do
not. more to the point, i just had an application where the shiny was worked
because it matched the luster of brick plastic, while the dull just looked like
a tire, and that's what got me thinking.
