'72 Electra: hunting for 245/70r15 or 255/60r15 whitewalls!

[Guest PaoloSica]

I am replacing my Goodyear Decathlon 235/75r15 radials, and would like a wider rear tire, to fit the stock 6" rim, and have looked everywhere; online, local shops, etc.. The best I can do are Radial T/A white letter, or Kelly Charger white-letter. Does anyone make a whitewall, or have some for sale? Thanks!

Ever heard of Port A Walls? They used them in the 50-60's and they went between the rim and the tire. I'm going to give them a try. You can get them in different widths. That way you can use any tire you want, and still have a big white wall. And I like the body of the 72's. I had a 1968 with a 430/360 horse engine. Would do 121 mph. Nice car.
