NOS 7.00 x 15 Denman wide whites/wheels

I have a pair of 7.00 x 15 Denman wide whitewall (4 1/4-inch whitewall) tires which were never unwrapped until late June of 2004. They are still fresh and pliant. I ran them a total of 137 miles before deciding to try radials. (I've used Denmans on my Packards since 1976 and never a problem. Neither did they yellow like so many of the other brands of wide white collector tires.) If you've given up trying to find Denmans that still feel, look and smell new in every respect, I can help. These would do justice to a 100-point car. They're that nice. They are not blems or seconds. I also have another 7.00 x 15 Denman wide white that looks just as good (the car was always stored in a dark, cool garage and ridiculously babied) with 40% of its tread left, thousands of useful miles of life. A fourth tire also has 40% tread and is in the same shape, except an unseen cut in the carcass means it is best for a museum car or a trailered car driven only on show grounds. (You may have this fourth tire for the cost of shipping.) The tires are not mounted on wheels. Also: Set of four 5.50 x 15 Packard wheels. This size was used on 1942 160 conv. and 180 Darrin, as well as 1942 160/180 Cipper and 1946-47 Super/Custom Super Clipper (except limo, which is 5.50 x 16). Probably fit other Packards as well. Check your parts manuals. Two of these wheels are freshly powdercoated glistening black and have never been used. A third is also shiny black powdercoated, has been lightly used but still looks fresh. The fourth wheel is in good shape but needs painting or powdercoating. mike-exanimo@juno.com [color:\\"black\\"]
