Wards tires are original. None have been made in decades and the OP was looking for new non-rotten tires.
I second the recommendation for chain tread (replica of US Royal) if you can still get them. That tread pattern is so old it predates balloon tires, and hadn't been discontinued very long when I was trying to buy some for my 1941 Schwinn in 1976. It's a period-correct look for several different eras of bicycle. Good looking, too. Whats not to like?
