Hello everyone,
Thought this would be a pretty cool topic to have to show the different widths of whitewalls on different cars all in one place. I didnt see one in a quick search so Ill start off with my 53. They are 235/75/15 diamondback with a 3.75 whitewall. What do you guys have?
Chris
Mine on the 56 60S are 3 1/4" 235/75/15 Diamondbacks on the Dayton Quadra-SE touring tire platform. Very satisfied with them! Beautiful 53 BTW!!

My 1956 Series 75 has Diamondback 235/15 3.5" whitewall tires.
My Borther's 1949 Series 75 has Cokers.
Doesn't have anything to do with whitewalls, but I had a "nice" '56 60S back when it was just a driver, just like Jeff's, same color, et al. Also had a NOS rear spear, and before I put it on, I thought how nice a Hitchcock murder weapon it would have been. Five feet long or so.... Argggghhhhh!
American Classic 235/75/15s here on the 56 Coupe. 3 1/4 inch whitewalls.
While we are on the topic, how many of you prefer whitewall or black tires on all of today's new cars? Whitewalls seem to be a thing of the past. I personally like the appearance of whitewalls especially on luxury cars. I have a 2006 DTS with 17 inch chrome wheels and would love to see whitewalls on it but so far I have only found Vogues at around $300.00 each. What is the consensus?

Whitewalls add a lot more class to an auto plus it brings out the beauty in a car, all cars! EAM
To me, whitewalls evoke style, grace, and elegance. Since most modern cars lack those traits, it is no wonder that whitewalls are no longer used by manufactureres.
barry,
your car didnt happen to come from north platte/ scottsbluff nebraska area did it? my car was one of a matching pair bought new back in 56...mine belonged to the lady of the house and when she passed away her husband sold it because it reminded him of her. was your interior beige broadcloth? i wish i knew the whereabouts to its twin...id buy it in a heartbeat even if it was in need of resto.
jeff
on the newer designs something like a michelin symmetry or goodyear assurance comfortread with the narrow 1/2 whitewall would be a nice accent...i wouldnt put the big whites on one.
jeff
Trying to wear these out and replace them with the correct '66 only triple-white side wall.
I think the only modern car that could look good with a white wall would be a Cadillac sedan, DTS or STS (STS-V would be my choice). And I'd put Vogues on it.
[Just checked the Cadillac site, no STS-V anymore!]
You guys have some nice cars! Thanks jeff for the compliment you have one very nice 56 there as well.
Jaxops your brothers 49 series 75 has some really wide whites! I wonder how those would look on my 53??
On the newer cars I think a 1/2 to one inch or so whitewall would be just right.
I put Coker triple stripe whitewalls on my '66 Eldorado. As far as I can see, these are exact reproductions of the original tires that came on my car from the factory.

These are Firestone Champion 4 1/4" www bias plies.
I now have Coker Classic 3 1/4" www radials.
I think those DBs you have, Jeff look better than the radials I have.I really hate the look of radials on these cars. If I could get more than 10,000 miles on a set I'd keep using bias plies.
thanks otto! the gentleman from diamondback suggested that i purchase the "beauty rings" as he called them. they added 5 or 10 bucks per tire...cant remember which, but they really set the tires off. i get asked about them atvall the local shows because the guys locally use coker mainly. i dont know if they offer them anymore but now anyone interested can reference them if they call for new tires. these only have 7k miles on them and they are a 40k mile tire, but ill probably replace them in the coming year because i scuffed the two on the rear with scotch blocks and they look good until they get dusty or dirtyband the the scuff really shows up. ill be going with diamondback and the beauty rings again if they are still available.

I think that's what makes them look more like BPs. You can just make them out on the picture of my car above.
I don't mean to get off the subject but can someone tell me what is/was the correct tire size and whitewall width for a 1959 Cadillac? Also, has anyone delt with Doc Sabatino? Any input on the Mac Daddy wheels/rims?

They say that 48 spokes are closer to original but I think the originals only had 40 spokes. So my question is this; If they aren't exactly authentic, why are they talking down about the competition's 52 spoke version?
It seems to me that as long as you're making a wheel that isn't exactly authentic, wouldn't more spokes be better?
Coker sells 52 spoke versions for $430 each. That's $1720.

I don't know the width, but these tires are the old Mobil nylon ones put on many decades ago:

These are Yokohama Truck tires from Diamond Back; 750 R16. The whitewall band is 3.75" and I had the beauty rings put on at extra cost. Unfortunately I don't have any close ups that show this feature, but I think it was money well spent.
It is often wrongly assumed that cars of the 30's and 40's had these huge wide whitewalls, but in fact, these are often incorrect, depending on the year. Also, many large series Cadillac's of 30's and 40's were shipped with black walls. Sometimes the cars had the chrome work painted rather than plated.... this was apparently very common in the Philadelphia area where the wealthy were extremely conservative. Sometimes at car shows you may overhear someone say "how Philadelphia that car looks" and they are generally referring to a large luxury car that has black tires and other features purposely toned down.

I guess I should have been more specific. Wires are fine for a show car but any amount of daily driver or part time driver use will fill the nooks and crannies with road grime and brake dust.
It is a lot more work to keep wires looking good than it is to keep hubcaps clean. I've had wires before and if you get lazy cleaning them, they ugly up fast.
Replaced my original 721's with these Cokers-- so far , so good !
Hi.
My 1960 Fleetwood rides on US Royal Bias Ply tires with 2 1/4" white walls.
Jeff, my car had the black metallic nylon in back against the white leather. The front insert had been replaced with a plainer black nylon. A guy stopped me on the street and I ended up tradingmy 41-6127 for it as I needed a more modern driver. The only thing bad was the guy "neglected" to tell me he had been towing a boat at high speeds and had been pouring transmission fluid in by the case. So, I paid for a rebuild on the transmission right off. But, we drove it for several years after that.

Hi Juan,
Aren't you the guy that was raising spiders under your car a while back? The car looks great. I assume you got the carb situation straightened out.
Of course if I'm confusing you with someone else, ignore all this.
The correct tire for a 1959 Cadillac is 8.20 x 15 with a 2-1/4 inch whitewall. The original tires were manufactured by either U.S. Royal, Firestone or Goodrich. I believe the B.F. Goodrich Silvertown tires in the correct size are still available through antique auto tire suppliers.
The data book indicates that 8.00 x 15 tires are used when blackwalls are specified, but I have not seen any 1959 Cadillacs so equipped.

Firestone 721s haven't been made since 1989 or so. They were also the subject of tread separation problems, lawsuits, etc.

Aside from the four lane from Moultrie to Tallahassee, FL, the rest was I-10 at 70+mph-YIKES! But, the tires gave me no problems whatsoever-guess luck and good fortune were with me that day!

Yes, these are Firestone 721s. Probably replaced in the early Nineties. No, the 721s are not available any longer (due primarily to the reasons stated by Forrest in his earlier post). I'll get an accurate measurement of the whitewall width and let you know later today.

Did you ever get a chance to measure the whitewall width?

Hi Michael,
My apologies for not getting this information to you more promptly. I kept forgetting to take the measurement when I was at my shop where the car is stored.
The whitewall measures 1.25" exactly. I have another Cadillac the previous owner installed Broadway Classics (radials) on and the whitewall width is identical. I mention this as a possible replacement for the 721s that are no longer being manufactured.

Yes, 215/75/15 is the correct size tire for the '76-'79 Sevilles. I am not sure regarding the factory wire wheels but I will check with a friend who has them on his '78 and see. I did a quick check on the Internet and found Broadway Classics are still available and in the size you will need.

Ray. I recently cleaned my 5" WW's with Comet and a sponge . They came out near Perfect :<)
Westley's Bleche-Wite is by far the easiest and best product I have ever used for white walls. It won't discolor them either. If the Comet has bleach in it you might get yellowing. Comet is also pretty abrasive.
Is there a tire place that sell whitewalls in the NY/NJ area??
Lucas, Coker and Diamondback will ship tires to you. The last time I hade this done it was about $35 for a set of 4. Then all you have to do is find a decent shop to mount them.

Comet does have bleach in it but on the can it states: Do not use on rubber items except tires.
Spray Nine with a scrub brush has always worked well for me.

The plastic ones or the steel wool ones?
Bleche-White and a terry cloth towel works fine for me and it doesn't scuff or abrade.
I like this thread; it has enabled me to add a few nice Cadillac wheel covers to the correspondingt (pending) "Cadilalc Database" page. How about a complementary thread such as : "Show me your wheel covers" (if you think those on your car are in excellent shape)?
Otto, I use the steel ones. Diamond Back does not recommend bleach type cleaners.
steve
Westley's Bleche-White does not contain bleach. I'm aware that DB continues to assert that it does but they are incorrect.
Bleach or products with bleach as an ingredient should never be used on white walls. It will yellow them.
Hi Guys
This is my 57 Coupe De Ville with Remington L78 x 15 bias plys & a 3 inch white wall.
These were on the car when i bought her two years ago and are going to need changing very soon as the side walls have quite a number of cracks in them. Also the white bands are more like various shades of yellow than white!.
I'm considering changing to radials as here in the UK on the small country roads the handling and ride is pretty much white knuckle even at low speed.
What size would the radial equivalent be to an L78 x 15?
Joe Hunt
I think you'll find 235-75 R15 will be the closest in outside diameter and still fit under the skirts and wheel well. (28.9")
If necessary, 225 -75 R15 will surely fit but are about 1/2" smaller diameter than the 235s and a full 1" smaller in diameter than the L78s. (29.3")
Thanks Otto,
I've been checking prices and the best price i can get for a set of five 235 75 R15 American Classics is $304 each tyre, $1520 a set. Would you expect to pay this sort of price in the US.
Joe Hunt
Not only no, Hell No!
The last set of wide white radials I bought set me back around $500 - pretty much the going rate for decent tires of any kind for any car.
Joe, What diameter white wall do you want?
Go to tireseasy.com and look for the GT radials. They are 11/2" WW and they're $81 each.

The narrower white walls look better than the wide ones on the '60.
I would prefer the 1.6 width whitewall on the 1960 to give it a little more eloquence. EAM 17806
Yes, those '60s are a talkative model. Elegant, too.
Hello Otto,
I am going to stay with the 3 inch white wall as i think it suits the car.
I have found some on the coker site at $199 each, but with shipping to the UK at $650 it doesn't make economic sense as i will be charged around another 30% of the total cost in tax and handling charges.
The joys of living on an island!!
