I see that now they have invented a radial tire that looks like a traditional bias ply. Come in various styles and sizes.......in blackwall and whitewalls. Just wondering if anyone has tried them yet. Are available from the old style tire vendors.....Coker, Universal, etc.
I have a set of blackwalls on order from Coker, big's 'n' little's for my avatar coupester. Delivery is scheduled for next month. I have high hopes that they'll give me the look that I want and the kind of driveability I demand. I'll post when I get 'em installed and have put a few miles on 'em.
This is not a new question. Have a look at this thread: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/new-coker-bias-look-radials.853541/
A buddy of mine runs Coker radials and is on his second set, I just bought some from Towel City and they mounted up and balanced good, run down the road smooth city and highway Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I don't know what it is with tyre threads, but they sure go out of whack fast. People just seem to see the word 'Coker' and post the first tyre (tire) related story they can think of, whether relevant to the O.P. question or not. Keith, to be kind, they are NOT the Cokers in question!
