Ray,
I think those tires were on the car when I bought it in July of '64 (including the PortaWalls!).  They DID come in handy that winter.  I'll have to dig that photo out some time.  

  I replaced them with a HiTech set of Firestone 500s the following spring.  Worst set of tires I ever owned!
Lots of guys did run the Mud/Snow tires on our old dirt strip though.  My current neighbor ran a Fuelie '63 Split Window with 13" snow tires to change his gearing.  
 
 
  And others ran the Butyl Plycrons with cross grooves.  Ah yes, things were different then!
