We've talked about this before, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but
there's no such thing as Diamondback tires. They apply wide whitewalls to
various tires manufactured by various companies, so the tires themselves
vary from batch to batch.
At one time I heard that a customer could order the tire he wanted and
Diamondback would apply the WWW to it. True?

James, my 57 Dodge has 5 1/2" wide rims, and they're very happy with the
Diamondback radials I unstalled.
I have NO complaints about them, and Jim Hoekendijk decyphered their
European size-rating & determine that the tire, which receives the
vulcanized sidewall , for 'our' cars are designed for TRAILERS, and that
they can support up to 50 PSI---I am running 45 psi in mine, and, the
ride quality is NOT harsh; in fact, the car rides better at 40+PSI, than
it does, at around 32 PSI.
The speed rating, tho, is only about 85 mph (bummer).
I clean my wide whites with brillo pads (and H2O), with no negative
results.
