Re: Tires, wide whitewalls, radial tires

Tommy,

There are several of us in the club who use this tire (including Mike I), Diamondback Classics. You can reach them at Classic White Wall Tires - Vintage Tires - Redline & Redline Radial Tires for Antique and Classic Cars or phone 888-922-1642. They are familiar with amphi tires. The size is P185/80R13. The whitewall size is correct. I now have almost 5 years on mine with no problems. I also run tubes in mine, which they also have. PS: they are expensive.

You are correct the Coker or Universal tires (same as Coker) have a tendency to yellow and crack. I have Universal’s on my 55 and they turn yellow within a week of cleaning no matter what you use to clean them with.
