GASP! Yes, I know tires get talked about ALL the time. So here we go again.
235/75/R15 seem to be the standard replacement for the 8.2x15 bias ply.
I ~REALLY~ want to put bias ply on my 64 Fleetwood, however, I think my front end needs a decent overhaul before that happens. I need tires before I’ll be able to overhaul the front end. SO. That being said, I’m looking for the best looking white wall radials for a decent price I can find.
Close to the factory white wall spec, but if it’s a little wider, I won’t complain. Nothing too wide tho.
Thanks all!
Logan

Robb, I dont know what you are willing to spend, but i purchased Diamond Back Classics 8.25 x 15 Radials with a 1 inch whitewall and the pie crust edge @ the tread on the sidewall . I told them my original spare tire had a one inch white wall so they made it for me. The tire is the AUBURN DELUXE they where $1100.00 for four. Heck now days you spend that much putting tires on a half ton Chevy pickup.
How about some pics? Love to see that! That’s a reasonable price I think. $275 per. Not bad.
It’s getting harder to find white walls at any price. I bought four Cooper Trendsetters at a local Discount Tire several years ago at about $80 each (can’t remember if that was before or after the excise tax, disposal fee, warranty and other “add on s”).
Another member posted a pic of this type of tire at:

I am considering replacing the shocks in my 64 SDV. They're not terrible, but are a little too wishy-washy. I want to replace them with shocks that most closely approximate the original damping rate…Continue

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
