Triple white tires

[MartyWorld]

The triple white tires found on many 65 Gran Sport Riv's and

later would be nice to have. I know Coker makes them for the

Cad's and Lincoln's but they are way too tall.

I think the triple whites are the most beautiful tires around.

Would the ROA have some influence on Coker to have them made again?

I have looked at Coker's current offerings and it looks like

they make tires for vehicles I would have a hard time believing

they would sell many of.

The Riv triple whites would be another story.

What's the chance of having this done?

Marty:

It's not well known, but DiamondBack Classics will custom make any whitewall design you can dream up. These 3 stripe tires were used up to '69 on Rivieras... I know of a '69 Riviera owner (down in Texas) who had a set made up for his car... and they do look stunning. Plus, unlike those Coker tires, you can have the look and still have radial smoothness and handling.
