Tires, wide whitewalls, radial tires

Hi there, I have always used Choker tires on the Amphis cuz of the look of the wide whitewalls.
At first they look fine but they are real hard to keep clean, they get dirty so easy. Then they are a real pain to clean the dirt off of.
Now a set I have that are about three years old are covered with 10,000 cracks. The white walls look forty years old. They drive fine and I would think they are safe but the dadgum whitewalls have started to deteriorate bad.

Anyhow Ron Green swears by the brand of tire he uses. They don't get dirty as bad and are easier to clean. He has them on his car and they look good. They are radial and have a good wider white wall.
Ron would you please post the contact info for your tire vendor?
I want to give them a try and the info will be in the archives for later searches.

Anyone with any tire suggestions PLEASE post them.

Thanks in advance, Tommy in Tampa
