Anybody know how thick the white stripe should be on the tires of a '91 Coupe DeVille?  Mine needs new tires and I want to get ones that look perfectly correct.  Pictures in the sales catalog look like the stipe is 3/4" thick...  Thanks!

I concur with 3/4", if not slightly less.

OEM spec was often Uniroyal Tiger Paw all season for these cars, long discontinued like so many others.

PDF page 38 in the 2017 CLC Judging manual says 1".

Guessing that isn't going to be easy in a 205 70 15.  I don't think that was ever a common size to have a white wall.   May be a custom job for someone like Diamond Back if you really want em.

If that's what the manual says, it is incorrect.

Never was 1" WW installed on any downsized FWD C body GM car.
