CLEANING TIPS

One of the first things you will notice is that Diamond Back Classics are extremely easy to clean. Most white-walls turn dingy or yellow because of the leeching of chemicals (mostly anti-oxidants) into the white material. Because our process uses a butyl lining to stop chemical leeching, you only have to clean the surface dirt. We recommend frequent cleanings with an abrasive cleaning pad. A fine or medium sanding sponge works well. These are available at most hardware stores.

Any good cleaner works OK - Castrol Super Clean, 409, Simple Green, Greased Lightning - just to name a few. Avoid cleaners that contain bleach. Prolonged use of these cleaners can "dry" the whitewall surface. VIGOROUS CLEANING WILL NOT DAMAGE WHITEWALLS. Questions? Call us.

AIR PRESSURE

Modern p-metric radials are designed for higher air pressure. This reduces rolling resistance, reduces heat build-up, and improves your car's steering response. It also helps prevent damage to your whitewalls. Because of so many applications, specific air pressures cannot be recommended. A good setting for most applications is 36 psi COLD. Remember, air pressure fluctuates with temperature change - frequent pressure checks are recommended, especially when beginning a long trip.

For the street-rodders who frequently use smaller front tires and for the resto-rodders who select smaller tires to achieve that "certain look," we recommend higher air pressures. Questions? Call us.

Diamond Back Classics are too easy to clean! Do not over-exert yourself during the cleaning process.
