Default Antique Car Tires

Hi,

I am looking for a set of 700x21-inch tires to fit a 1926 Packard.

Lester tires are available, but I would prefer something with a more
authentic tread, and not the rib tread on the Lester's.

Michelin's are discontinued, Dunlops are hard to get and $410 each
(!).
Someone recommended Bedford tires, but I can't find the company or a
dealer.

Any suggestions?
Please e-mail:
Thanks very much,

I've got a pair of Spreadlite headlight lenses, plus a frame, for sale on Ebay, at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=24 48472095

These are new in the box, dimensions etc. are in the auction description. The
headlight frame is slightly rusted, will clean up pretty well. I've had this up
for a week with no bids, and I would very much like to have them go to someone
who can use them; hence this message. I'm guessing the vintage is mid-20's,
would have been bought for a Chevy or Model T, most likely.
