Thanks everyone for the information on the tires. The tread style that looks most original to me is the newest Goodyear reproduction, but they are sure pricey.

I got my civilian tires (650-16 STA Super Traction) from Universal Vintage Tires. At $144 apiece, they're a bit pricey, but they match the bias-ply style correctly. I use NDT on my '42 GPW, but not my CJ2-A. I suspect the cost difference is driven by demand.

You can try
http://www.wallacewade.com/ for the tires. They sell original type tires for antique cars. I got my NDT tires there and they may have a tire like what your looking for.

I am looking for some new original-looking tires for my early CJ2A. I see that Goodyear is making them but they are quite pricey. Has anyone found any other manufacturer making original-looking tires similar to those that are less expensive? I think they are called "pencil tread", but maybe not. I have seen some guys running their civilian jeeps with tires that are obviously military tread. Is this due to cost? Any thoughts?
