Whitewall tires

I'm thinking about ordering a set of wide whites from Diamondback Classics - I read quite a few comments on a couple of other forums about them and apparently they're better than Coker (stay white) and not as pricey. Seems a lot of guys have gone to them. Anyone here use them and what do you think of them?

I have a set of diamondback's I have driven them about 3000 miles this year. They ride great and stay white.Right now I have driven them around 500 miles since cleaning and all they need would be a sponge and soap and water they clean easy too

We used to use their products years ago..they were good but haven't dealt with them lately.At the time they were a good value...just my 2 cents worth.

Consider the look of the tread pattern straight on and from the side on each before you make a final decision.

Have you looked at the Goodyear custom whitewall from Kelsey Tire?? They don't look too bad..I don't know about price though. They're at 800-325-0091 or kelsey@kelseytire.com

Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated! I'm going to go with the Diamond Backs, they seem to have a good name from what I've heard.

I have a set of Diamond Backs for my roadster & the quality seems excellent. The car is not on the road yet so can't tell you how they handle.
You can have your choice of width of WW to some extent on the larger size tires & the white wall is vulcanized onto the tire so they should stand up well. I've been told also that they use good casings.
