Re: [Chrysler300] 300H Tires 59 Crown Imperial

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the Corvette  enthusiast magazines in their current issue has a pictorial article on Diamondback and how their tires are manufactured.  I saw a copy at Borders last week.  Sorry that I do not remember the name of the magazine but it one of the popular ones so should be easy to find.

Saw Bill Madden's 59 Crown Imperial convertible in its car show debut at the Carmel Concour in Carmel Calyfornua this week.  It is an over the top restoration that was completed by Timo Tanskanen.  Beautiful in black with a light tan interior and tan top.

  Jim,

  Tried to send info to you twice and returned undeliverable. A problem with your email?

  As far as I'm concerned, you'll never get a radial to look close to
  original. As for size, (I believe the H had 15 inchers) the closest
  would be 235/75/15 but even those sit the car about an inch lower in a
  radial.?? I just got a set in that size in a Uniroyal made by Michelin with a custom 2 3/8" (whitewall width showing) from Daimond Back Classics.? Diamondback will custom make whitewall
  width and position on the sidewall at no extra cost. They use new tires, remove the name and other info from one side of the tire, then vulcanize a surface sidewall and somehow end up with the exact whitewall you ordered. The outside of the tire is smooth and has no identifying information but the inside has all the original manufacturer info. Haven't mounted them yet but they
  have a good reputation compared to Cokers that almost everyone seems
  to be staying away from due to failures or other issues.

  What are folks using for replacements these days in a radial tire?

  Would like to buy something close to original.

  Thanks

  Jim
