    I looked on the Diamondback tires web site, and spotted their new (to be released) "Auburn Radial Tires". They are a radial tire that looks like a bias ply, pie crust style tire. Are they out, and has anyone run any yet? I'm hoping they are round......I've been looking for some traditional styled tires that come round, and don't need to be shaved and road force balanced to be able to fly down the freeway. I'm also looking for 30,000 miles with ONE set of tires, not three. Any info on the new "Auburn Radial Tires" would be appreciated.

    They list them as white walls AND black walls!......550/R16 through 750/R16
    With 15" coming soon.

    They are on page 22 of their on line catalog.

    They should put them so customers can find them. A friend told me about them, and said they were pictured in the on line catalog.......I looked all over their web site, before I stumbled upon them.

    I hope these are the tires I've been dreaming about being able to purchase....looks old BUT functions like new.

    We'll I guess that is still light at the end of the tunnel.

    It wouldn't hurt to call.....if some interest is shown, hopefully, they won't cancel the project.

    I spoke with them last week and they told me early summer. I am anxious to see if they are a good product.

    I called them today, and they said January 2014.....they answered the phone right away.


    Wouldn't hurt for everyone to contact them.....to make sure they know lots of guys are interested in their new radial tires that look like bias ply tires.

    If they work as good as they look, they will sell them faster than they can make them!

    Call Diamondback 888-922-1642, and tell them that you are patiently waiting for them to release their Auburn Deluxe Radial tires.......I did.

    Those are a great looking tire, if they make them affordable, they will sell very well.

    I, along with many others, am also disappointed the new Auburn radials are not yet available, but am confident when they do arrive, they will be a quality tire, like all tires sold by Diamond Back. :)

    Been there, done that. I want a greater ride, along with tires that will balance, (i e. round :() and not have the added expense or need for tubes. :)
