[FWDLK] Rattlin-on, 'bout Diamondbacks

[eastern sierra Adj Services <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, due to overwhelming (unanimous, in fact) response, I ordered a set
of Diamondbacks, today. $800.00, and 2-3 weeks later, I should have
Horries' new shoes! That's right, $200.00 each (incl shipping; $175.00,
if 'you' want the
'custom' (& correct)  2 1/4"  wide-whites, along with the 1/2"
"black-gap", between the inner-circumference (@ the wheel) and the
lower-edge of the white wall: no "Gangsta-white-wall" appearance.

As far as o.a. tire diameter, the O.E.M. 8.50x14"  bias plys were 28.1"
, the (New-)Cokes 235/75R14's are 27.8", the
Diamondbacks ("metric": 215R14's) are 27.6", the generic P225/75R14's
are 27.2" .

So, in exchange for "reliabilty" and a correct 2 1/4" w-w-w, I'm
giving-up .2" in o.a. tire-height, (which the Cokers' offer.)

Those of you who can afford to wait 2+ years may find that some-other
manufacturer might finally make a 235/75R14 tire, (which DB might, then,
be able to apply a w-w-w thereto) .Also,  Coker, may finally be able to
fix their "reliability" and/or "warranty" issues, AND make a correct 2
1/4" w-w-w tire.

For those of y'all who might already be runnin the 'snake-skins' , their
recommendation is for 38 p.s.i. , front-and-rear.
