Re: Preferred tire supplier 1941

I ran Diamondback radials on my 1941 120 Club Coupe. These were built up with bonded white walls in the usual way, but I think started life as Toyo light truck radial tires. Had to run them with tubes in, which were a bit fragile, but they were excellent tires for travelling longer distances and suited the car well. Sometimes, Diamondback or their dealers have specials on these. I think mine worked out at less than US$200 each a few years ago. Not too different to quality cross plies.

They're hard to tell from cross plies, with the name removed.

As others have said, if you expect to drive the car over reasonable distances, this is the way to go.

Cheers
