When I was shopping for bias-look radials five years ago, discovered Coker did not sell 16” and DiamondBack did not sell 15”. I assumed they had a “gentleman’s agreement” to not compete with each other on an expensive specialty item with limited sales.

diamondback has 14 and 15 inch. 16s aren't an option for the Auburns.

You might want to look again at the D.B web site. The Auburn Deluxe pie crust series come in popular 15" and 16". The Auburn Premium series come in 14" and 15".


I've run DiamondBack tires 20 years, and presently have new Auburn Deluxe 670x15s on my '51, and Auburn Premium 205/70/235x75x15s on my fresh '40. All my D.B.s have run true with minimum weights, and have the best white wall available, imo. When the Firestone Deluxe Champs on my '32 need replacing, Auburn Deluxe 16s will take their place.

I'm glad you joined in because the pie crust style is what I was looking for but didn't find. I was going to settle for the premiums.
