Tires

I think its time for a new set of tires. Mine are starting to show signs of checking and they are from 1996. Looking for Firestone 600-16 - 3 1/4" Double Whitewall, has anybody had any dealings with Tru-Spoke wire wheels for tires?

I got my Firestone 600-16 3 1/4 WW bias ply tires/tubes/mounted and balanced from Universal Tire in Hershey PA in 2018. At the time, the cost was US 1042.80 I have about 10,000 miles on them, and they are wearing well. Some will say that radial is the way to go, but I have no problem with the bias.

Bob, I have no dealings with Tru-Spoke. However, I have literally had dozens of dealings with Coker. Each transaction has been flawless. I have purchased the double whites you desire from them.
If you are a member of HAMB, you qualify for a 10% discount on the purchase.

I am about to (yet today) order another set of tires from Coker.

You can try Lucas Classic Tire here in CA. They have Firestone tires, but I didn't see any double whitewalls, but I didn't look too hard either, they might be in the catalog. I bought a pair Firestone tires and tubes for a '34 1 1/2-ton truck from them a couple years back.
