Re: [FWDLK] Need new Wide Whites



I Pm'ed Nick a copy of Jim Hoekemdijk's omnibus evaluation, of
Diamondback tires, from earlier this year.

Jim did an amazing job of interpreting the info contained on the DB
radial.

In a nutshell, the tires are 8-ply(IIRC) , light TRAILER-rated and can
be inflated to 50 PSI--I ran mine @ 42-ish, for the  3.8K trip to/from
Tulsa, without incident.

Biggest problem may be that they're speed rated only to 85 mph.

I clean mine with a Brillo pad (& hose-water).

Goodyear makes a WWW radial, now, and the tread pattern appears to be an
all-weather pattern, which may be better, for straight-line stability,
than the 'road-pattern'  (concentric-grooves) tread, on DB's & Cokers.

DB's cost almost $200.00 each.

Dunno anything about the Goodyears.....
