    I can get those for $100 a piece in 225/75/15 locally but beware that they are no longer making that tire so if you need a replacement you're SOL. That was enough to keep me from using them since the shop only had 4 and can't get anymore.

    I put them on this '65 396/425 Vette. Liked it even better than gold line tires.

    I thought I liked wide whites after seeing them as the standard on most 32 hot rod builds on here till I saw some step out of the box a bit and run the old style black walls and thought it gave them a more aggressive look.

    On my 61 uni ford truck I am going to run skinny whites with center caps I like the look better seems to fit the 60s style better then the Happy Days tires.

    ^^ Cause thats what they ran in the 60s for the most part.
    You should try Ford dog dish caps cause those caps are deffo older than the 60s

    I like the narrow white walls smaller than 1 inch. I also like the dual stripe.

    I prefer skinny whites to wide whites. These are the Champiro/Runway Enduro whites. The forst ones i bought were great and stayed white forever, the second ones turned yellow, but it's nothing a quick spray of Westley's tires bleach every now and then can't fix. They are really good tires for the money.

    I've had double pinners on my '62 NY wagon for a while...

    ...and now they're on my '57 Chrysler, but I think I like them better on the wagon and would rather like a wide white on the '57 instead...

    Most Chrysler models had fairly low productionnumbers compared to the other brands.
    The 6-seater model NewYorker I have in the pic has been made 728 times.
    There's also a 9-seater wagon which has an even lower productionnumber.
