Its a slow learning curve but I finally managed to find out what tires the guy below used on his build! You can zoom in and see he uses 26.5 x 10.5 rear and 26.5 x 10 front. Then I searched and found Goodyear Eagle Billboard tires. However, it does warn they are not DOT approved and will not ride as smooth as modern tires, as they are not totally round!! WTF! Fantastic look though, and I wonder if anyone else has used them?

Build 7815

It says they're not as round as modern radials, not that they're not round. They're 60s tech, not modern tires, they're just the best look for our cars. I have a set for my Coupe, came on the wheels I bought, and they look right on it. Also, on a race car, which they'e intended for, they'd last a couple hundred miles at most, for $250 each. Just the price of admission...
