2Speed, the rear tire in the 1st pic looks like a good FD tire. How does it wear? You have a site that sells them?

Ace hardware Carrys this bell white wall tire.

Or at least they do here. I highly recommend it. But it seems iffy online as to if you get a smooth or threaded white wall. Check Amazon I suppose.
