Avocet tires on non-hook bead rims?

I commute on an ancient (1972) road bike with non-hook-
bead rims, specifically, the wider Weinmann Concave rims.
I think the rim model number is A-129.

The rims are 27 inch size. Obviously, good quality tires
27" tires are not as common as they once were.

A friend gave me an Avocet slick (the older generation) in
the proper size. Avocets are my favorite tire, but I can't
recall if they demand hook bead rims.

FWIW, it's held for about 15 miles, but I'd prefer to
avoid rude surprises. Anyone know if the tire's supposed
to work on these rims?

Should be OK with if it's a wire bead tire. My wife's bike
has those rims, and we use Michelin 27 x 1-1/4" wire bead
tires and don't push the pressure too high.
