I believe you are correct. Diamondback use everyday radials and add the
whitewall.

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?
