I am running DiamondBacks for all my classic cars. Never a problem; I love 
them and would use no one else. Pricey, maybe, but great quality and good 
service.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Whitewall Tires for H or J with one inch whitewall 

Other than Diamondback ($$$$) I am finding virtually squat for the correct 
whitewall in radials. Several years ago this was no problem for the 
P235/75R15 tire. Now, Broadway Classics and Dimension IV are no longer 
made, American Classics only have 1.6” in this size, and Cooper and others 
only have a ¾” whitewall. The only one close to the correct 1 and 1/16” to 
1 and 1/8” I can find is Champiro 75 by GT Radial with a 1.25” whitewall. I 
am extremely hesitant to go with these, both on principle because they are 
made in Asia and also because I suspect they are junk. Has anyone tried 
them? Has anyone found other tires in the last year or so with the proper 
whitewall? I will not put a ¾” whitewall on a J; it doesn’t look right, and 
I will not run bias plys, which actually cost even more. Whitewalls at the 
tire stores are going down the path to oblivion faster than a shine runner 
in a 300C. Looks like 1.6 inch American Classics or cough up the coin for 
Diamondbacks unless anyone has a better idea. 

300Jly,
