Has anyone used these??

Never heard of them but the video of their process is interesting and apparently the tires themselves are name-brand, such as Hankook which I have used. Each tire apparently has whitewall width options so pleased to see them for my ‘60s era cars.

And the prices seemed pretty reasonable.

I looked at Calli Tires back when I was getting tires for my Panama. In the end I went with Diamondback because they could get me the tires much faster. I was on a bit of a time crunch at that point, so I needed them quickly.

Calli's price isn't bad and the options for whitewall width is nice.

Interesting. I wonder what would fit on my '40 110. Could I get 70 series under those fenders without a problem?

Don't forget that Mid Atlantic Packards handles Diamond Back tire . Not sure of current price info but when I got mine they were cheaper than buying direct . So if interested check with them first. I have no connection except being a satisfied former customer

No 16" though, eh John??

No, no 16" tires. All mine are 15" wheels.

Not that I have any experience at all with this vendor, but they do list various 16" tires, not sure if those sizes apply to any Packards:

16" tires

Hey Jerome,
Thanks for scoping that out and posting. I went on their site and queried 16" and it came up with nothing. Sometimes 'search' boxes aren't all that helpful. My '39 takes 6.50/16's and I don't know how that relates to the 205/55/R16 that they list on their site. They have a conversion chart, but there is a note stating there is no 'modern-day listing equivalent' for 6.00 X 16. (or 6.50, I presume) Coker just lists them as 6.50/R16. I'm thinking the '205' number would be significantly wider than the 6.50, yes/no?? I bought 4 Coker radial tires for my car a few years back and am very happy with them, but was thinking I could maybe get one of the Cali's for my trunk spare. At $133, they sure are a heck of a lot cheaper than Cokers which were about $280 when I bought them, but look like they come in around $400 now.
