I am at the point in the resto of my 1954 Morgan that I need tires. The rims are 16" and I believe it takes a 5 - 5.25 size tire. Not a lot of choices. I want to put on radials rather than bias ply. Suggestions?

Coker Tire seem to have a couple of options - including some in what they endearingly call "bias-look radials" that would seem to fit the bill. One possible answer is linked below... I've used Coker before, but am not at all familiar with "excelsior" as a brand. But it's a place to start looking, perhaps: https://www.cokertire.com/tires/styles/bias-ply-tires/excelsior-vintage-european-style.htmlOne of the size options is 500/525 x 16 which I'm guessing would be what you need
