Default Photos wanted - Diamondback gold stripe tires

I'm looking for some good resolution pics of Diamondback (not to be confused with Coker!) gold stripe tires on a midyear. Ideally -- a red car & perhaps from a couple angles with the front or rear fender framed in the shots. Trying to evaluate the look of their Firestone or their AS4 in size 205R75X15.

If you can help, please PM & we can exchange email addresses rather than post stuff here with compressed photos on thread replies. Thanks.

I just sold this car to another forum member (Robert Miller), but here is a photo. I put the diamonbacks on the car and bought the repro wheels new also. Was very pleased with them. They were radials though. Not sure if the number you mention are bias-plys. I had originally ordered the other brand you mention and color was waaaay off and returned them Jim

Here is a comparison for you of "the other" brand. I've had no problems with them...but they are a bit strong on color versus the original bias ply tires. I bought them 8 years ago....so not sure if their current product is still over the top on color.

Thanks to all for the great shots. The shades seem to vary in color, which is not unexpected due to lighting, photography and probably changes in the dyes used over the years.

Still would like to see an example on a Rally Red car. I think I would use them on my KOs rather than my stock wheels/hubcaps.
