Wheel size for 58 President??

Would you please explain more about these beads? I have never heard of such a thing.

Do you repair (restore) old radios?

Do you repair (restore) old radios?

Yes, but only if they do not have printed circuit boards in them. For Studebaker cars, 57 and older do not have printed circuit boards.

Shoot me an email if you want more info, please.

I looked at the Diamond Back site, it looks like they only have radials. I'm making a complete spare set of bias tires for AACA judging.

Did you notice that these Classic Wide White Wall Cokers are Bias Design RADIALS? Is that not allowed at AACA?

If you judge it at SDC Zone Meets and International Meets, I think you know Radial Tires are no longer a Originality deduction.

Here is a couple of '58's at the 2012 International Meet at the SB Proving Grounds.
The Sedan has the 15 Inch like your Hardtop, I do think the 15's work best on the Sedan due to the LONG Wheelbase they can sit a bit higher without looking like a 4X4.

I was told by my buddy that radials under any circumstances are not acceptable. My friend asked his friend who is an AACA judge. I purchased the bias tires from Universal. Not that bad around 975.00 for 5 tires including shipping. I was wondering about tires like you mentioned. Now I have two complete sets of tires. Radials for regular use and shows and bias for AACA.

Thanks Jim I wish they were mine! I do have a '58 President Sedan but it's not re-painted yet, but will be a winner when done, it's Solid Black.
