Jan and
all,
Very reluctantly I
purchased and installed (5) BF Goodrich 8:20x15 tires and installed them on the
correct factory wires that were completely rebuilt for our '55 Imperial Newport
when the car was ready for the road. My reasoning was to keep the correct
look as radials on that application just don't look right to
myself.
A few years prior I'd
also purchased BF Goodrich 900x15 tires for our 1960 300F Chrysler. Once
again this was driven by the "correct look". The F doesn't drive all that
well with them, but I'm happy to say the Imperial drives EXCELLENT with her
set. There is a difference in tread pattern and size and maybe this is why
the difference.
Hope this information
will be of some assistance,

Tires?
Hi
I was thinking of putting wide whites on my 1955
Imperial. Not sure I want to start the bias/radial discussion gain but why
not? I have radials on the car now and am not really thrilled with ride and
handling. Comments?

Hi
All,
I?ve gotten a lot
of questions about the tire discount. Here?s a few key
points:
-
As a
?group?, we need to order 25 or more tires. We do not need to all order the
same type/size/brand ? they can all be
different.
-
Shipping of your
chosen tires would be direct to you, and you would arrange payment with
Coker directly.
-
When
we get enough folks together, I will send out another email with the details
of who to call at Coker, and how to get in on the ?group
deal?.
Just drop me a line
if you?re interested and I?ll get it all set up early next week for ordering
with Coker.
Thanks!
-Dave
