Tom0 or Kubes: No reply from either one if you about my "Transmission Repairing Company" thread??? I was counting on one of you for a reply. It sings a little in 1st, and 2nd. 3rd gear is silent?? It's an Over drive trans. Easy, "Do it Yourself??"

I called them in the Carolinas (North I think)and Diamond Back told me the answer. They make radials in 710-15, just like the originals; and make the white wall any size width that you designate!! (Full 1" 2" 3", what ever!! SUPREME!!!

You might reconsider the whitewall size, the size in 1950 was larger than 2 1/2". http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Ford/1950%20Ford/1950%20Ford%20Crestliner%20Foldout/image4.html

Assuming you called Diamond Back tires, the one inch gap is strange. My Diamond Back tires have white walls all the way to the rim.

I called Black Diamond, Johnny took my call; very nice guy! He said they had 6.70/15's and they make the white walls to the customer's desire as to it's width! The white starts at about 1" from the rim, and I'm thinking about 2"-2 1/2" of white. $239.oo per tire/$90 shipping. Then I have to pay-Mounting and Balancing!! All in all about $1090.00 total for 4 tires!! Very pricey deal! But I have to do it!!
