Default Tires

Does anyone make whitewall radial tires for my 34 Ford?
Current tires are 5:25/5:50-17 bias ply whitewalls that are worn out.
I would like to replace them with whitewall radials while maintaining close to the original look ------if possible.

Coker sells a 17" radial blackwall for the 34. That is the ONLY radial that I have been able to find.

Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Try Universal Tire ....
Just went to their website and 600,700,750 17s were listed but I do not know if they are radial or bias ....

Tom,
Thanks for the reply. I checked with Universal. They do not offer Whitewall Radials to fit the 34 Ford.

Check with Diamond Back, they can put whitewalls on most any blackwall tire

A few years back Firestone made the double whites for 34. I got a set free for putting my 34 in a show for some local tire company.

Sorry 'bout that - Diamondback may have them as someone else suggested. ...
