+1, I've not had good experience with vintage tires. This bad experience includes a set of vintage specialized touring tires, which split at the casing and caused a side blowout, despite failry low mileage on the tires.
Also, is the bead fully set on that front tire? Looks like it might be creeping up above the rim edge. Could just be a dirt line across the casing, but thought I'd mention it just in case.
