    I had 205 R75 15 Ma**is with 3/4'' WW (Made in Taiwan) Radials on my Merc.

    They were too big for my car (touched the front fenders) and I did not like the looks but I cannot say that the quality was bad. Smooth ride.

    They cost about 90 - 100 bucks, sometimes cheaper.

    I know this thread is nearly 2 years old, but I'll through this out. The Cooper web site still list the Trendsetter SE as available in 205/7R15, 215/70R15, 205/75R15, 215/75R15 & 235/75R15 sizes with the white wall. Hope this helps. -Dave.

    Check out fullruns, or something like that , they are cheap, probably cheap built but have a wider white wall than most on this thread, think they are almost 1.5" look decent and are like maybe 60$ a piece

    I dislike sending my money to China but 18 wheelers are using chinese tires and the Federal government says they are OK

    Sigma Shadows are inexpensive ($60 to $80) and feature a 1-inch whitewall.

    Hope y'all mean inexpensive. Cheap tires aren't any better than cheap brakes. it's your life, and maybe others" at stake here.

    Well......I really liked the look of that tire. It's perfect for that 61-64 custom look....little bigger than a pinner and narrower than a wide white...found them in the 195/75/14 I was looking for at www.simpletire.com when I get them, mount em on my chrome reverse, I'll put up some pics. They were $207.00 for 4 tires and 60 bucks shipping.....fingers crossed they don't come in black walls, damaged, or I got scammed and I'm out 267.00 ha ha

    just a suggestion.................look for a feller who 'grooves and fills' tires. he may be able to 'satisfy'
    everything from a pinstripe -(like red-line, blue-streak, gold-line, or white-line)- to a narrow white wall. i have a recommendation of a Motown feller.
