Diamondback Tires vulcanizes white sidewalls of any size on modern radial tires made by major manufacturers. The set of radials I bought from them for my 1956 Patrician were mounted on Firestone tires. I am very pleased with them and they handle MUCH BETTER than the old bias ply tires. Packard would have used radials if they had been available from U.S. manufacturers in 1956.

Well I own ?55 Clipper Custom too.I tried to use radial tires on it because everybodys were telling me how much better they were.I drove on them one summer but I was not happy.Not so soft to drive as old bias tires
Now I have the old bias tires on my car and I think I will not change to Radial again
