RE: IML: 1967 Tire Size

["Edward Tiede" <e_tiede@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

    Last spring I had Diamond Back Classics make a set of three ring white 
wall tires in the original pattern which is w/n/w.  I was using bias ply but 
they were n/w/n.  I had no problems with wheel covers coming off at high 
speeds on a road trip of over 400 miles.  I was so pleased I order one last 
fall for the spare.  The price was about $150.00 each.
