Re: [Chrysler300] Diamond Back Tires



Good point, Richard.  That's one of the best features of the Diamond 
Backs.  They give you any width of whitewall you need because they are 
all essentially custom.  As with their other offerings, I believe these 
will all be produced in Thailand as blackwalls, and then have the 
correct width whitewall vulcanized on at the US plant to fit the order.

I know they will be making stock runs of certain common widths like 
2-1/2", but any width can be ordered and quickly produced.

A side note here is that they Diamond Back says there is not a tire 
builder in the US with the modern equipment to match what the Thais put 
out in quality.  I guess I can't attest to that fact, but when you hear 
Bill Chapman explain it to you, you believe he knows what he's talking 
about.
