Omni United debuts sport touring tire for classic cars

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Omni United (S) Pte. Ltd. has launched a sport touring tire, called the Dimax Classic, developed for classic and vintage cars. It will be part of Omni's flagship brand, Radar Tires.

The tire comes in four sizes and six SKUs, with rim diameters ranging from 12 to 15 inches. Nine more SKUs will be added by the end of the year.

Omni said the tires are aimed at enthusiasts and collectors of classic or vintage cars. The tread features a modern take on the classic design, while the classic sidewall "complements and enhances the look of the collectors' vehicle," Omni said.
