Has anyone got photos of his 54, 55, or56 with wide whitewall radial tires?  I want to see how my 56 CDV would sit with radials instead of bias tires.

Thanks,
Dave

Is there any source for telling what the correct size whitewall is for every year cadillac?

Right now I am curious about what is correct for a '75 Eldorado?  Current tires have dry rot and whitewalls are only about 1" or less....

Go toCoker.com for the info, They list the white wall sizes by years. I believe your Eldo would have 235's

I like Diamondback tires and if you go to their website they go to great lengths to tell you the procedures they use and what most competetors put out.

I've been pleased with Diamond Back tires also.  Have a set on my '51 Hudson, '59 Jaguar, and just recently retired the old bias tires on my '40 60S.  They offer whitewalls as wide as 3 1/2", wider than some of the other suppliers, and great quality tires.  Quick and reasonable shipping

I have tried Cokers, both radial & bias.  I now use Diamondback 700R15 WWW on my '54 CDV.
IMHO -They are the absolutely the best of all choices.  Looks like a bias - handles like a radial.  The car does have air shocks for leveling when carrying a heavy trunk load on a trip.
