Default Diamondback vintage radials installed-pics

I was asked to post pics of the Diamondback radials when I got the car back (1958)... can you tell I got it back today? Stunning difference in ride over the bias, very nice. I recommend them highly. Going back out driving now.

Did you get them directly from Diamondback? I've tried to order two sets of tires for my cars, but they have yet to reply my emails and return my calls... Your car looks stunning!

I put Diamondbacks on my 59 two years ago. Tremendous improvement in handling and ride compared to bias plys. I can take corners about 10mph faster.

But they do scuff up a bit. Interesting that somebody else noticed that too.

I still like the tire a lot, however.

Diamondbacks are the better of the options out there. They have always been good to me when I have called them. Dave
