I personally would put 6.00s on the front, and either 6.50s or 7.00s in the rear. DD

Ha! How true, Mark!! You obviously know me well. BUT....for once, I MAY just have figured-out a little 'sumthin'. Click on the DB site link below. It should bring-up Diamondback's "Auburn Deluxe Radial" style of their custom tires.

https://dbtires.com/product/auburn-d...l-15-16-sizes/

This is the long-awaited original-tire type that is "Radial" in build, yet resembles the sizes and shapes of original '40s to '60s bias-style tires that we crave on our old cars, even including the "pie crust" feature so prevalent on tires of the past. Their handy window that pops-up on that site shows 16" SIZE options from 550R16 thru 750R16, as well as popular 15" sizes. The COLOR option DOES include "Blackwall Smoothie" as one of the options available. These tires 'APPEAR' to be the nuts as far as the proper kind of 'look' that many of us are after in a radial tire. But beware as always....WTF do I know? DD

Now if they would just make 6.00x16 Three inch Double Whitewalls, it would be perfect.

Call and ask! Virtually every tire they do is a "custom-made" creation, so I understand. DD
