Tires

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!

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:

Personally Id go with the BF Goodrich L78x15 dual white wall tires that Coker sells. The width is more like 8.85 and according to research these were strictly a Cadillac tire. They retail for 330 a tire. I know I certainly plan on getting a set as I think it'll look much better than the nubby Yokohama tires that are on the gal now.
