Diamondback Auburn Radials
I called Diamondback today looking to purchase a set of radial replacements for my 600-16" on my 35 pickup. The salesman said the best tire for me is the new Diamondback Auburn @ $239 ea plus shipping.
It appears this tire is in stock and ready to ship. Has anyone purchased them and if so were you satisfied with the tire ?. Thanks

Re: Diamondback Auburn Radials
Not running the "Auburn" but I have been very happy with my Diamondback radials. The Auburns haven't been available until fairly recently. Bet they would look good on your truck. There may be some Auburn reviews if you check Google

Re: Diamondback Auburn Radials
Diamondback has been promising these Auburns -- literally -- for years. I used to call them every six months or so and always got the same answer: "call back in six months..." I gave up calling summer before last. While most guys seem to love their Diamondbacks, I'm not sure that after the long wait I'd volunteer to be a Beta tester. I'd like to see 'em in more sizes, too.

Re: Diamondback Auburn Radials
I also waited for a couple-three years DB and finally said the hell with it. I bought 4 16" Coker's from Summit and the shipping was free and I don't recall paying sales tax. They are really good tires and look great !

Re: Diamondback Auburn Radials
One big advantage with Diamond Back is that all their tires are tubeless radials, including the new Auburns. The 16" bias and radials from Coker require tubes.

Re: Diamondback Auburn Radials
I think I have seen on the Barn that Diamondback tires are available thru Summit and includes free shipping ?. Anyone have any information or knowledge of that ?. Thanks

Re: Diamondback Auburn Radials
Bob V8......you are correct, but I bought Coker Radial Tubes to be on the safe side.

Re: Diamondback Auburn Radials
I just talked with DB and they said the 600/16 is all they have , I asked when they were expecting other sizes like 700 or 750/16 and he said he
had no idea. When I first talked with them years ago they were supposed to have both sizes available together , not much help only having one size unless your using 600/16 on all four. I guess it's time to move on. |
