I just shot some pictures of both the repros that are on the car, and one of the originals still mounted on the original wheel.
First the original:

And now the repro BF Goodrich Silvertowns on the car now:

That's what happens when you contract the molds out to China.
Well, to be fair, the repros are of an earlier vintage Silvertown that what I have. They may or may not be more correct for the vintage of car these repros are being made for.
 
The Silvertown tires from Lucas Tire are the ones for my '59 Imperial I purchased two years ago. I cannot get into their site now to confirm if still available.
