Tell me your experiences with bias-ply tires...

Looking to run some period-correct looking wheels and tires on my 57 for certain shows, and decent radial whitewalls seem to cost a fortune all of a sudden, which has me thinking about running some reproduction bias-ply tires which seem to sell for about half as much. Anybody racking up any kind of serious mileage on something like this? What are the drawbacks, aside from ride and handling? Do all bias ply tires require tubes? Can any shop mount them?
