Whitewall Tires

[alpine1963]

Hello gang,

I have used a Firestone FR380 1 inch whitewall up till this year when they stopped making them in a whitewall. I have called every local store to see if they have a 13 inch tire in a whitewall just to be told no. Does anyone know of another brand that may have a whitewall. Coker has a 2 inch but I woudl prefer to have 3/4 or 1 inch.

Cheers,

Todd,

I knwo this sounds silly, but i believe that it was some store like costco or wallmart that was mentioned a while back as having 13" white walls with a 1" stripe.

I will check with those tomorrow. I will also check online tonight and see if they list them.

Thanks,

Hey Eric,

Any clue what name brand?? Two hours on the internet and no luck. We all should write Firestone and voice our opinion!

Eric,
I also met with Dave tonight about our show in March - we may be going to the Speedway after all! Mini will be the featured Marque

I NEED TIRES! HELP

In a previous thread, I INCORRECTLY said Wal-mart had them, but WAL-MART HAS NO WHITEWALLS.

Vredstein tyres: www.universaltire.com

also, WSW MASTERCRAFT make whitewalls for 14" contact them and see if they do 13's

whitewalls

I bought a set of 165/80/13s right from Firestone store $40. apiece. The whitewall is only 3/4" though Granted it was last July and things may have changed since. Jeff

alternate whitewall tire

These are on e-bay, identified from a later thread. Look acceptable.

Milestar MS75 Tires 175/80R13 from buywheelstoday in Ohio.

Todd,

i would call corker tyres.. expensive.. but likely to have them and might be a decent tyre. Most of the smaller size whitewalls are now crappy cheaper tyres made in India.

Have a look for Maxxis Ma1 Grand Touring tires - here in Germany they easy to find - 165/80/13 looks perfect and they are good quality made.
