>American Classic Tires
recommends "lug centric" wheels rather than the original "hub centric" wheels
that may flex with radials.
Can you explain the difference
?

Classic Tires
Hi To All & Happy New Year,
Just opened the
latest Hemmings MN & Coker is advertising a new series of American
Classic radial WWW tires that have bias ply look profiles. The American
Classic Tire website does not show them as of yet.
They seem to
be geared for Cadillacs, thunderbirds & Corvettes.
Based on
carnut.com "as built" specs for '55-'65 300s, C-300, 300-B & 300-G
owners may benefit from the 800:R15 tires if a 3 1/4" WWW works for you.
As with American Classic 235/75R14 & 235/75R15 radial tires,
the white wall is an integral part of the tire. The 14" 75 series tires
are for 1955-1960 unless owners opt for 15" wheels and tires.
Diamond Classic has S rated new Michelin 235/75R15 tires that
they will put what ever size WW you want. They also promise the
235/75R14" tires soon by their own production.
BTW, I have the
15" Michelin tires from Diamond Back mounted on Stockton 15" wheels with
the original 300-F hubcaps. They are great and exceed all expectations.
One tire did develop "bead bubbling" of the white wall where it sealed
to the rim. I had to pay shipping one way for a replacement WW. They did
give me some grief since it they were over 1 year old.
American
Classic Tires recommends "lug centric" wheels rather than the original
"hub centric" wheels that may flex with radials.
Stockton Wheel
will make up 14" modern "lug centric" replacement wheels or 15" that
will accept 14" hub caps for radial tires. They are for 1957-60 and
1962-65. Their 15" wheels do not match 1961 300-G perforated wheels.
They will not fit 1955-56.
Some narrow white walls are currently
still available for 300-H and up.
All of this comes at a price!
Hope Santa was good to you.
300,ly,
Tony Rinaldi
300-F
