    Who has the best deal on wide white radials? There used to be a HAMBer on this board that was affiliated with some wide white tire distributor, and could get a fellow HAMBer a little discount.

    Got diamondbacks but haven't yet run them more than around the block. Balanced up well with minimal weight.

    Used to buy Coker, but had 4 tire come apart. They did ***ist in replacing 2 of them. One of the replacements came apart. Nuff said...
     
  19. For the price one has to pay for WW tires, I've heard/read enough story's about Coker to steer clear...I'm NOT going to roll the dice on a set of them. I haven't heard/read ANYthing negative about Diamondback's. Coker makes theirs from scratch using old OEM molds. DB vulcanizes their whites onto brand new tires...no yellowing white walls, self destruct belts, out of round/unbalanceable tires/etc, etc. I've bought three different sets from DB over the years, and have not had problem #1 with any of them. They will also make any white sidewall size you want. This is my current set...with the whitewalls made to the size and location on the tires that I wanted...

    Strictly Diamond Backs for me, I had 3 Cokers explode in a 2 month period. Used Diamond Backs now for 2 years no problems. I like the idea of them using new tires not old ****ty tire molds.:cool:

    Haven't had issues with my Cokers. If you call the 800 number and ask for Hector. He helped me last week order some wheels and tires. He us on the hamb as well. FYI you get a 10% discount, only if you are an alliance member. Joe

    join the Alliance, buy Cokers, free Alliance plus savings on tires. 3- sets Cokers no problems ever, excellent customer service and if buying wheels as well, free mount and balance before shipping. thats what I would do. ~sololobo~

    If you haven't seen the thread, Cody and the old man at Hurst are onboard with making new radials into wide whites as well. They sold me some slicks for my 33 pu, and they will get my business next on radial ww's as well.

    Did you dip the whole tire and just let the white wear off of the tread?
