i need some whitewall tires in a 295 50 15 or equivalent. ive looked at coker but i dont see anything that big.
diamondback might make some, but i'm not sure that it's a good idea...that's not a tire that should be a wide white.
the tire does not need to be low profile. 50 series . just something in the realm of 28 to 30 inch tall 12 inch section width. thanks.
Try the White wall candy store. They can get all sizes. They have their tires made. They've had problems in the past but they are under new ownership, good people.
295---width 50---height 15---rim size a 50 series tire is low profile, and pretty wide, prolly 8 to 9 inches wide
Try Diamondback tire or The Candy Store, But I'm not getting the WW 50 series, I guess I dont get it because I DONT run radial tires.................
actually, the first number is the width, and while you are partially correct about the second number being the height, most people are confused about how it signifies it. The second number is a percentage. In other words that wire would have a side wall that was 50% the width of the tread. SO a 50 series tire on a 185 is going to have a shorter sidewall than a 50 series on a 305. Does that make sense? so if you figured that the tread was 8-9 inches than its safe to say that the sidewall will end up 4-4.5 inches, which will leave him plenty of room for a 3" white wall!
That tire should be almost 12 inches wide (section width), with a tread around 9-10 inches, and about 27 inches tall.
10 inch = 254mm 11.6 inch = 295mm. A 50-series tire makes 5.8 inch tire height. Here's a 275/60 tire to get an idea... Here's a 325/50...
ya, i just didnt want to try to explain it like you did, it wouldnt have come out as understandible, lol. thanx. im just sick of hearin guys who say they want a 50 or 60 series tire so itll be wider...... clueless
