Hi Dave
I use the Indian brand " Twin Treads" in 6.00x16 6 ply, readily available in NSW through Ag Tyres at Moree, who are importers.
Any tyre service in NSW can buy from them for you. The importers number is 1800028988
I have also found out that Wally March Tyres in Victoria are importers. Phone 0354416422.
I know "goin grey" used the same brand on his FC when we met him on the way to Mount Gambier a while back
I've used them for several years, both in 13" on my Sunliner, & 16" on Lucille.

Dave ,give Cotton tyres a call down near Wingfield (Athol Pk) Ask for Steven Sambell mention my name and ask him about the Idian tyres in the 600x16 he sold me for my old 38 Royal I had,they would be perfect for what you want,they were a very well ballanced tyre as well and will really look the part as they looked great on the 38. The tread looks very similar to the old straight edged B F Goodrich cross ply tyres of yesteryear.
They were very well priced as well at the time.(cheap)

Dave I'll have a look in the books at work on Monday. If you didn't need the full height of the 650-16 there is a 175/75x16 light truck tyre I have been using on Talbots/Rileys/Vauxhalls and a couple of 48 Jag limos. At 668mm tall it is a bit shorter than your 732mm of the 6.50 16 but all reports back on them are real good and they are cheap. I'll see if they do the taller size. Rollydog
