Default Re: 6.00X16 radial conversion

on my 51 f.1 recent import it came fitted with 15inch coker classic whitewall bias ply tyres , look great and almost new but after my experience with bias tyres on my imported truck from florida years ago the tyres will be changed for radials before the current work on it is finished and on the road ,driving it with those tyres was a hairy experience indeed , thanks jim.

Do you think you might have problems with insurance? Over here Im sure the insurance company wouldn't pay out if they find something like "for electric vehicles only" on the sidewall..

Yes they're from DiamondBack (Federal EcoVans with whitewall added), I bought them from a local whitewall dealer. I've had them for a few years and they're no longer on DB's website.
