Over the Counter Black Wall Radials?

Is there a "go to" black wall Radial that can be purchased over the counter and doesnt look too modern?

 

Not that I have found
Go to your local tire retailer and have a look, you may find somethig you like.
I run Radial TA's because I like them, they are well made, and handle well even on my '57!

the light truck tires are the closest ...

 

Walmart Marshal 791. Narrowest and cheapest radial, it is a good 2 inches narrower than "name brand" tires of the same nominal size. Has a vintage look. Turn the blackwalls out or the whitewalls out if you like narrow whitewalls.

Or you can buy VERY expensive tires made specifically for vintage cars.

 

Cooper Trendsetter SE. One of the tires diamond back starts out with to make into their wide whites. Made in USA

 

Trailer tires are about the closest looking to a bias, but I don't thing they will drive to good on a car.

I run trendsetters on my pickup. I have narrow whites though. If your state has an inspection process, avoid trailer tires.

Don't run radial trailer tires on a car or truck!

 

I have these for my Es***, with the skinny whitewalls facing in.

 

These are Uniroyal Laredo's with the lettering ground off. P265/75/15 but a 31x10.5 r15 is what they are calling them now.

Wheels are 15x7

 

I just got a set of narrow white Hercules p series radials for my '62 Hawk. Good price nice tires.
Made in USA too.

BTW: Small independent dealer a few blocks away had them in stock.

 

was joking about the trailer tires, i was just saying that they look like a bias ply

 

Nice!

 

Your Es*** looks great with the straight axle. Nice job!

 

Diamond Back has these 15" light truck tires they bond on a smooth black wall. I think the tires are made by Yokohama.

 

those are cool
