Re: Whitewall Width - How wide?

I think I'm going with the Diamondback 7.00-R15s with the widest whitewall available. It's a radial that retains the look of a bias ply, but has the benefits of a radial.

The tire you mention has a more flexible sidewall, and Diamondback recommends maintaining the air pressure at around 44psi in order to avoid having the edge of the whitewall wearing against the road where it flexes at the bottom.

I don't think that's as much of an issue with the 7.00-R15.
