anyone know anything about denman columbia deluxe tires

I did a search on the HAMB and found nothing. I just bought a set of Kelsey Hayes 40 spoke wheels and they had a real good set of Columbia Deluxe Whites on them. I found a dealer that has the last from what they say is NOS and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to pick up a few before they are gone.

 

anyone?

 

old timers?

 

Denman was the first manufacturer of wide whites, I believe, after the major companies stopped making them. Since there are now numerous options I would not buy any to use for long distance driving.

 

Cool, Thanks. Oh? but why; Are they just **** tires?

 

I've run a few with no problems.. Bought them at Lucas Tire in Springfield ,Ohio...

 

I hope denman makes a comeback ,Does anybody know who bought them out .....

 

Denman built a quality tire but tires have a shelve life of 6 or 7 years. Anything past that they can give problems.

 

Never had probs with Denman's I've owned. I think Coker bought the Denman molds, but they havn't produced any.

 

Like Frank S sez, How old are the tires you're thinking about buying? It's a good idea to learn how to read the DOT codes and only buy fresh tires.

 

Lucas Tire in Long Beach says they are New old stock. The ones on my wheels look great.

 

Thanks Frank

 

I've got 4 WW Denmans on my Deuce just for 'rollers;' cool looking tires and I wouldn't mind having some more!

 

Denman items including molds were bought by ***an. ***an has not expressed interest in making the Denman whitewalls yet. Hopefully they will.

 

Lets hope so cause they are cool *** looking tires!!!!!
