I know the tire discussion has been going on for ever but I never hear to much about Lester Tires . Does anyone use them? Are they any good? Thanks, Rick

Yes, I just purchased 4 - 7:00 X 16 WW for my Lincoln Zephyr and 4 - 21" for a Model A. Lester is made in USA. The other cheap 21" tires for Model A's are made in Vietnam!! Lester is USA, shipping was very quick,

For what it's worth, I run black wall BF Goodrich Silvertowns on my '33 Sedan. Metal valve stems. No need to balance. Smooth ride at all speeds. I'm pleased and a bit lucky.

The Model A folks here use them and like them.

I had a set on a 41 ford, rode very nicely with them. I sold the car and put whitewalls on it so I saved then and they are now on my 48 pickup.

My 39 cs has them on and rides and handles well for bias ply tires. Phil

I found LESTER to be very good tires when I had them on my 40. Size was 6:00x16 WW. Click on photo to see it better. I bought them from the add in Hemmings.
