Re: [FWDLK] Coker Tires

[Curtis French <cmf392@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I learned how to drive on bias ply tires and I don't remember them being so
bad.  Sure can tell the difference today, though.  Are there more grooves on
the roads these days or what?  Maybe the repro bias plies are not as good as
the original ones?

I have one set of Coker WWW radials and they seem to be fine, although I
haven't put too many miles on them.  At a recent show, a competing
manufacturer told me that the tires Coker sells (all brands, including the
B.F. Goodrich Silvertown radials) are made in Mexico by a bicycle tire
company.  Don't know if that's actually true or just some sales spiel.
