I need to buy new tires for car SRL#237. Originally the cars were delivered with whitewall tires. I am leaning towards whitewalls pretty hard, as I want to keep it as stock as possible within reason. Yes, I would put on radials, not old Bias Ply tires from Coker. Whitewalls are becoming very difficult to locate. Price aside, what would you do? Stock 4.5" wheels and hubcaps.

If you have deep pockets, American Classics is the likely go-to mainstream supplier. I however, would be hard-pressed to spend more on 14” datsun tires than I do on 20” Ram 1500 tires. To that end, if I were looking for wide whitewall radials, I would likely go with this at about half the cost (dug this up from a few years back). Very interesting option with apparent good results:

Thanks Kai, but the Gangster whites were only on the early 3 seat cars. The later cars had more narrow white walls...

I believe they can custom size the whitewall stripe anywhere between 1/2” to 4” Sid.

No sure how close your speedo would be with these options, would need to investigate that

Hankook makes a Kinergy ST 185/75 14 white wall which is available from Tire Rack.

Last year I put on Coker Travelstars in 175/75/14 which have a thin stripe. Less than $60 each from Summit Racing.

Some great options all, thanks. Prices have gone up - the Travelstars are now over $80, which is still not horrid I guess.

What's your favorite of yours Roadster to drive ? And what' tire wheel is on it ?

[spl310]

Whichever one is running at the time...

[Curtis]

Yup, I run Remington. I don't do much aggressive driving so they work fine and look good. There was another thread that had another brand that was reasonable. I can't remember if I found them when I was looking.

Uni royal Tiger Paw
Excellent tire great price

The uniroyal 175/R14 only comes in black wall. 185 has whitewall.
