Below are a few tire questions that we are asked on a frequent basis. If you do not find the answer you seek, please contact us here »

Q. Do you sell wheels?
A. We currently do not sell any wheels. The wheels you see here come from companies like Motorspot, Detroit Steel Wheel Co, Wheel Smith, or are NOS.

Q. Are all of your tires radials?
A. Yes- even the ones that look like Bias Ply! Diamond Back Classics sells only Radials with the best in modern engineering. Radials offer superior ride quality, longevity, as well as a diverse selection of sizes and styles to fit your needs.

Q. What if I don’t see what I am looking for?
A. Here at Diamond Back, we build every tire to order. If you don’t find what you’re looking for in our catalog or at our show display, we can tailor our services to fit your needs. If there is a specific tire you’re looking for with a white wall, redline or goldline-give us a try, we can work with most modern radial tires.

Q. Are these Coker Tires?
A. NO. Although our competitor sells a similar product, our quality is unsurpassed in the custom tire market.

Q. Do I need to run tubes with these tires?
A. Not necessarily. Most applications do not require the use of tubes. If unsure, ask your salesperson.

Q. Do these tires require special mounting procedures?
A. No. Every tire we sell is a brand new radial. Most any reputable tire shop should have no issues mounting and balancing your new tires.

Q. How long does it take to receive my tires after I order?
A. Standard lead time is between 2 and 3 weeks from the day you order to the day you receive your tires. We do offer an expedite service for a small fee to get them to you sooner.

Q. How do I clean my Diamond Backs?
A. No bleach! Any ammonia based product will do, we have had the best luck with Simple Green and a cloth towel. Common yellow and green household sponges can take care of any stubborn stains.

Q. What is a beauty bar?
A. 5/8″ wide raised ring on the out edge of the whitewall. It adds a touch of elegance and gives radials a bias ply look. It is available on most catalog items. Pictured is what it looks like.
