    I am on my second set of Diamondbacks. I think they look great and work well. I won't buy anything else.

    I had great luck with the B F Goodrich WW radials from Coker. They took a lot to get balanced, but they drove smooth and handled well.

    Diamondbacks are good tires with lots of choices.

    I'm also looking into radial whitewalls, and I have read a lot of good things about DBacks. I think I'm probably gonna check out one of the local SoCal white wall vendors before I decide though.

    I have had good luck with White wall candy store. Their service is good and the price is better than Coker. I have run mine the past 5 years.

    Just to let the orig post guy know, that Dbacks are made from tires such as Michelin and Ma**is just to name a couple. The lettering is shaved off and 3 layers of rubber vulcanized onto the sidewall. The inside will still have the orig lettering.

    Very very nice tires. My fronts are Michelin and rears Ma**is.

    There are threads here on them and I have yet to read a negative comment.
