White wall tyres/tires

Hi Geoff, A few years back I ran 205-16 Hankooks on the back of the 35. The tyre dealer assured me they were very long lasting, and he was true to his word! They lasted many many thousands of miles, in my opinion, they are an excellent brand! you should be able to easily source them here in NZ. Ring a coupla tyre outfits and get them to quote...could possibly be cheaper than importing them from the USA in the trunk.
 
Thanks Brian, yes they are available here, that description was a cut and paste from a listing for them at NZ$216 each.
I am not sure about this particular tyre, whether it is a nice quiet car tyre or a noisy SUV tyre.

I have purchased a nice 1950, all original including the paint.
In my research I have come across accounts of people claiming to have restored the driveability of their cars by going back to cross/bias ply tyres.
Getting a set of Cokers is more than I want to spend.

I am getting the 1950 shipped with the parts to repair my 1954 included in the boot/trunk.

If anyone has run these particular tyres, feedback would be much appreciated.
