Agreed about Universal being a decent option for the Model A; that's what I'm using right now.
The thing is, none of our recommendations are going to be universal (pun intended) because the variables are so great--tire size and pressure, load, road surface type and condition, temperature, speed, etc.. Even if we're just considering 19" and 21" Model A tires, road condition and climate will be significant variables.
I've used many different vintage bias-ply tire brands--Lucas, Firestone, Goodyear, B.F. Goodrich, Coker, Universal, no-name--in a variety of sizes on a variety of vehicles, and none of them have appeared to be appreciably better or worse than others over the long run except possibly B.F. Goodrich Silvertown tires, which AFAIK aren't available in Model A sizes anyway.
