Seems to be Goodyear clincher cord tires from the 1920s.

Some don't like Blockleys because of the tread design, but it's period correct.

The diamond tread pattern on the Goodyears vs the Blockleys isn't the same.
The Goodyear tread is as follows:
3 diamonds
2 diamonds
3 diamonds
2 diamonds
etc.
The Blockley tread is as follows:
2 diamonds
triangle, diamond, triangle*
2 diamonds
triangle, diamond, triangle
etc.
* or diamond with a 90 degree fold

The artist rendering is likely a more exaggerated pattern to enhance the ability of the tire.
Maybe both are
2 diamonds
diamond with a 90 degree fold diamond diamond with a 90 degree fold

When I go to a event with my Blockleys on my car I highly doubt anyone cares about what the tires used to look like.

For those who use the forum as a learning tool rather than a platform to criticize. Stopped by friends shop Today & by coincidence this was there with rock hard cracked Goodyear Cord Tires.
