Tire ID help (pics)

[laverda]

I was wasting time surfing and came across this coupe through a link in a previous post. What I would like to know is the ID of the tires, front & back. They look to be 15" rims. The front appear to be radials?? The back ... ?? Any help would be great. Thanks.

later,
papa al

The back tires are radials as well, the're Diamond Back Classics, version of a cheater slick.

Thanks dude, I can never remember what you leave off to get it to show up on here...what is it?

Ah well, at least this proves that my wheel and tire combo look good on both chopped/channeled and unchopped/on da rails.

Thanks for the info. Great pics Rix2Six http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Is it a photo-illusion but does the set up on the black coupe look much larger in diameter than Merc50's rockin' gold jobby?

Do you think the front are BFG Silvertowns?

Thx.

I am pretty sure his fronts are the same as mine...D'backs also...just from glancing at the tread pattern. I think it is just the photos and the cars that make them look different...I am betting we are running the same tire and wheel combos from the pics. Great minds think alike and all ya know.

[laverda]

Merc50 ... what are the sizes of the tires on your coupe? Thx.

I take it that even though there is tread on the back tires they still do shitty in the rain?

Ya I think it's an illusion of perspective cause the black car sits lower.
