    I have 32 that currently has a set of 235/75R15 Cooker Wide Whites on it.
    I'm going to keep them, but want a set of Black Walls to run.
    After researching it looks like AVON TURBO STEEL is the closest to the old look I'm looking for in a Radial even thought its a 235-70. Problem is: I cannot find them anywhere.
    Does anyone have an idea where I could get them, or a suggestion of another tire?
    I really want a Radial in that size or something very close, but want to keep a traditional look.
    Thanks in advance...

    I thought Hoosier made all of Mickey Thompson’s tires?

    Please,,, do not do that. When radials became prevalent here in America, tire service industry newsletters warned against mixing bias + radial.
    "Only use radial on rear if mixing. Never run radials in front of bias. When radials are used to steer, they will create a path that the bias plies out back cannot follow. The result is compromised traction grip in the rear."
    Two and half decades later, looking to save dough, I committed this sin. The result, one rainy Friday afternoon, cost me, Two Three ****loads of money and a healthy spine and back.
    BTW the pain still lingers.
    Don't

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this!!!!!!!!!!
    Been there, done that and it ******** doesn't work. I had mix and match tires on my truck in the early 80's and fought it from Top*****h to Waco and ended up taking the bias tires off the rear and putting a pair of radials on the back for the drive back. I thought the power steering was bad and it was mix and match tires.

    Why don't you remount your tires and put the white walls on the inside?
