Off the subject, but in the 1960s, before tread pattern was a legal requirement, I ran my Seven on smooth motor cycle tyres 10 shillings each. Wages have increased about 40 times since then; can get a used modern tyre with reasonable tread for that price today.
A major disadvantage of steel radials on moderns is that cannot cut the tread! Although with the beads sliced off, tyres fold into a wheelie bin; no mean saving!
