Coker Tire will have your WWW tires in the correct widths either in bias belted or radials.

Seems Fusick and steel have most of what I need. Other part swill need to be saved or redone. Does USA parts supply have any unique items the others dont? Seems like they just rebox the other companies.

Diamondback has nive WWW tires. How do the Cali tire handle? Who makes them?

There is nothing like a good testimony. I watched to video on the link you provided Tedd. I would have never bought a set of those tires but I know how many miles you put on them on your recent road trip.

I have also heard good things about Diamondback tires.

So far I've had 0 problems with the tires (probably 7000 miles and they look new), they ride better than the Cooper black walls radials I had a couple sets back.The only problem If you can call it a problem is the clear bluish coating that they apply as a protective coating takes a few washings before it is non tacky or the newly applied white walls have not quite cured as yet and may be the reason for the tac. The first week they seemed to attract dust abnormally quick. By the way I live on a dirt/ gravel road one and a half miles in and out so I wash the car everytime I get to town, it soon lost its tack.

Would I buy another set, you bet. I was told by my long time tire guy who installed them that they were 35,000 mile tires and they look as if ai will get all of that....Tedd

PS..... They are oriental by birth, Enduro Roadway brand.
