thin white wall snow / mud tires?

[desertrat]

Does anyone know if any tire co. makes white wall snow, mud, traction, knobby, etc.... type tires?
I know I've seen them before on older truck/cars but I am having a hard time finding them.

I'm going for the stock look but at the same time like the knobby tires since these would be going on an old farm truck.

I've checked coker, DB , and Universal with no luck so far.

I have my walls covered with old truck adds... acording to the photos on them, you'd want black wall tires for a stock look.

I havn't called them yet, I have purchased tires from Diamond back in the past so I know how helpfull they are.
I'm sure they could make me a set but I also know it would cost me an arm and a leg and I'm not sure I want them that bad for this truck.
So in the meen time I will do a little more searching.
I did come across a radial tire that is similar, I will check on price and availability tomorrow when I can call someone.

hmmm, a couple of those actually DO have wite walls. Maybe the ones on my walls here are low optioned ones.
Personally, I always thought they looked a little stupid, esp on a work vehicle.
Diggin up more...

[Longhorn Man]

last ones I can find scanned.

Thanks Longhorn for the pictures.
Looks like the 1/2 tons used white walls and the 3/4 ton used black walls.
My truck is a 'almost' zero option 1/2 ton that was a farm truck and it currantly has 60,000 original miles.
It currantly has truck rallys on it but I plan on getting some original wheels for it.
I already have some cst style hubcaps on the way (which is why I'm thinking white walls).


Here is a picture of the SPID

Andy,3/4Ts never had whitewalls,factory or non.There were never 16" or 16.5" whitewalls.Only 15" on trucks,so 1/2T only.I don`t think there were ever any load range above passenger car available.Could be wrong,but never knew of it.
My little 4wd has them on it.They are still decent.I even tryed bringing the white out with bleach just for while it sits.Driveway art,you know.

special-K,

I thought you would have the answer for me.
On a differant note,
Did the half tons come with radials or bias-ply? I always thought bias but looking at some of the ads make me wonder if they came with radials.

[Longhorn Man]

I had never noticed exactly how many of my adds were on 3/4 ton trucks.

I have done business with Diamond back classics, and they will whitewall anything. If you call them , and let them source the tire you want they will ask you how wide the white wall needs to be. I had them do a set of 16" Nitto's on my Chevelle 1/4 red line. When I first found them they had a display at The Turkey Rod run. Whitewalls on a 16.5 bias ply on their 1 ton box truck. The will balk a bit about doing it, but ask nice and you will be tickled to death. I could not tell where or how the red striped my 16". Have bought probably 10 sets of tires from them and never a one had a problem.
