What the subject title says. Tire shops around here aren't super friendly so I'm hesitant to ask to go back and peruse their whitewall selection. Who makes one that looks good? Lots of the whitewalls I see are really close to the rim (Dunlop SP60 for example). Maybe it's just the pics. I really like the ones where the whitewall is closer to the middle of the tire. And I looked at Diamondback Classic Tire and Coker Tire websites but wasn't jazzed about spending $200+ per tire.

Car is '66 Nassau Blue, 15" steel wheels with factory hubcaps. I know whitewalls may not be correct, but I like 'em. Just want them to LOOK the part.

you are looking for a tire with a 5/8 white wall.....

might try diamond back

These are Michelins, the particular model isn't made any more, but I think there are some that replaced these that have a similar whitewall.

Anyone have the Goodyear Integrity?

I don’t have Goodyear Integrity, but I’ve seen them. I personally don’t like the busy ribbed sidewall design. It just doesn’t look 60’s, even if it's whitewall. Afar okay, but up close, too busy for me. Maybe the performance makes them worth while, I don’t know.

I have Discount Tire's house brand radials on my 65 coupe. The last set of these I had on my daily driver, gave me 30,000 miles of wear.

Goodyear Regatta II tires have the narrow whitewall but they are discontinued. You might find a set if you look around . Also Uniroyal (Tigerpaw) makes a narrow whitewall in the correct size .

BMS

great feedback. I'll go out and look around today.

I also would recommend Michelin Symmetry whitewalls - put them on my '66 last year. Great look, great ride, terrific price. Check 'em out!!!

How wide is the white wall?

JoeCool66

7/16 - I’ve had them for a couple of years now and I like the handling and ride. I’ve always liked the clean look too.

War Damn Eagle!! I was looking at the Integra but decided I liked the Yokohama AEGIS LS4 215/75/15 and really like them!! Tread design and side wall are very clean! here is a few pix with them on. http://home.comcast.net/~dparola/1967-1.htm

Ended up getting Cooper Tire Lifeliner GLS'. Whitewall is just shy of 3/4". Ran about $88 ea. Had the wheels powdercoated just this past week. I'm afraid to put the wheel covers on them now!!! I'll post a pic with the wheelcovers on later.

Michelin Symmetry tires. 1/2 inch white wall. Got mine at TireRack.com for under $100 each

Ron Miller

Those are good looking tires as well, and Cooper used to make good tires as I recall. Do you know what the treadwear/traction/temp ratings are?

BMS

Ron, here is the link to the page for those tires...
