Default Anyone using Lester 600-16 bias tires

I'm looking to replace my very old Firestone 600-16 bias ply tires Ran across Lester tires on Joe's antique auto, looking for feedback on them. Thanks Ron

I got them on my front, older than dirt but still look good( enough for me) did not balance and run smooth, can’t use modern tires on this.

I have them on my 39 Merc. Seem to be very nice with no problems.

Yep, have them on my 35 roadster. Ran true with no balancing. I bought them at a swap meet old never installed for $200 for 4 as a temporary solution to get rid of my whitewalls. ive been thrilled with them and they're still on 4 years later!
