This is the BEST lead so far. Good lookin tire, and 27" tall. Thanks, i'll definately consider it

 

this is a VERY useful thread to me.

thank you!!

p.s.
yep i will be running radials......

 

Goucho,
I don't have my diamond back book handy but they have a website. The also ahve a tall skinny radial that's about 27 or 28 inches tall and has about 4-5 inch tread wisth. Looks like a bias ply.

That's what I plan on running on the coupe I'm working on along with thier radial cheaters.

 

diamond back makes a radial in the old bias ply molds. they look great.

 

205 75 15 on early truck rims. @15 is taller but they are too wide.

 

215 75 15 is too wide. I meant.

 

Traditional or not...if there had been radials back in the 40's thru 60's, they would have been running them. I've had old pickups with solid axles (53-56 Fords) that drove like **** and after switching to a set of radials, they straightened right up.

 

you could always try the ****er excelsior, they look like bias ply but are radials and you can get them in any size.

 

195/75/15 is tall and narrow.

 

Just saw something about "bias ply looking radials" on the Coker site.
