My DB’s were Coopers. Had them do 2-1/4” looked good until changed rims and went to black wall Hankook same as my 2018 Ford

I’m under he impression that DB no longer sells reversed Michelins (?).  Waiting to get long-term reviews on their in-house branded models.  I liked the proprietary WW compound (cleans easily), but am leery of small-run/unproven tire brands after multiple Coker failures, when those WWW radials were initially issued.  At least DB now offers the correct sized model that won’t rub the skirts.  I had to trick the skirt latches to clear my DB Michelins.

I will never put tires on my 55 unless they are wide white Diamond Back Radials. If it says Michelin on the sidewall it is a real Michelin tire not a licensed knock off, and the whitewall will never yellow. I drove my 55 T-Bird from New York to Memphis for a CTCI International and then to Springfield, MO for another on DB radials driving on NY route 80 at 2 in the morning alone in the pouring rain, the only tire for me.

There's  several specialty tire outfits that advertise in major car magazines.. However, because of  the limited markets for items like that, decent quality tires can't be cheap.. Good luck..

I recently got a nice set of Hankook 14"  radial whitewall tires for my 65 Mustang from Sams. They had to order them but it didn't take long, the price was reasonable and the look and handle well. You will have to check if they can get a size that works for you. I have been running Diamondback on my 57 T Bird for some time now and love them. They are much more expensive than the Hankook though. 

RB can you remember the dealers name, and wil they ship.

i just went through what you did.you can still get them but not of the shelf.even walmart can get them.check on line.theres lots of places that can get you a set cheap.

I prefer Diamond Back Radials over the Cokers

Try Summit. I got a set of Firestone Deluxe Champions with free shipping for around $800.

Check Ebay.. I bought some no name 1.25 inch radial whitewalls from a dealer in Tx.. They have been fine tires  no complaints at all  And they were cheap
