They look like the old firestone wide oval whitewalls to me.

What's with the 4 lug 4 spokes?

It's a drawing of a Corvair I got from OldChevySeller.

Coker carries wide oval types...not sure if they have whitewalls tho.

Just about any tire manufacturer carries the narrow whites...don't think that narrow tho...

I think Michelin used to make them like this.

Diamond Back can usually do what you want.. and you can choose the tire if you do not like their selection.

I was looking at a Mercury Marquis, (Not sure if it was the notorious De Sade option) the other day. A late model one that looks like a Crown Vic (Police car) and it had some Michelins that had little pinwalls like old time Wide Ovals. I thought to my self: those would be right on period 1960's with Supremes but the would ride like modern tires. Has anybody tried them??

PS those 4 lug wheels would bitchen on my '64 Ranchito 6 cyl.

Look in lowrider magazines for pinner whites.

Those ones Chili Phil saw were Michelin Symmetry radials I believe. Looking at some myself. They have a 1/2" whitewall. Not centered on the sidewall like some of the old bias plys; it's more towards the wheel. Still the closest modern tire I could find. Diamondback Classics will also make whatever width whitewall you want, wherever you want, for about $145 a tire (again a radial).

Here's a pic of the Michelins from a Lincoln forum:

The wifes Towncar has those Michelins on it. Depending on the rating they go for between $98 and $135 around here but those are 16"s. Probably available in 15"s though.
