A fresh set of tires, a new set of wires, and some detailed work on the injection unit....and this old girl is starting to really come around. Too bad driving season is 60 days away
One last item for today, has been my experience with Diamondback Tires. I've used these in scenarios where a car will not get judged, but I still want somewhat of an authentic look. I realize a tire like this (wide whites) is not typical to many of the cars the members here have.
Time and time again, I am so impressed with how concentric the tire is, along with the minimal amount of weight they require. I've gotten in the habit of spinning my wheels on the balancer before mounting a tire. That was I know what the wheel is asking for in terms of weight along with how straight they are. On these here, I do a static balance, as I do not want the weights on the outside (like original). None of these tires required anymore the 1.5 oz. for the tire. This is a radial, yet has the squared off tread like a bias ply.
