Does anyone know where there is a good place to get wide whitewall radial tires for my 55 Commander? Hopefully on the Canadian side of the border since every dollar spent on the American side these days costs $1.35 CDN. That really hurts! THANKS.....BUD

Got mine from a dealer in Port Carling Ontario and his as is in Old Autos. They looked sharp on my '61 Flamingo Hawk. If you don't get Old Autos, contact me through www.thehamiltonchaptersdc.ca under executive contacts. Roly

The tires that Matthew posted pictures of look nice, but the whitewall looks like a later (narrower) width than what would be correct on a 1955 Speedster.Gary L.

I just checked price of the Diamond Backs here in Canada and in the US. It is almost the same buying them here in Canada. I will be ordering them from the Canadian dealer in Bracebridge On. Roly Lusted, president Hamilton SDC
