white wall tires

is "coker" the best place for a good quality tire?

 

IDK but if you step up and buy an Alliance membership, Coker will give you a discount big enough to pay your Alliance Membership for a couple more years!!!

 

That hasnt been my experience. I went straight to a middle man in Long Beach and saved more money than ordering from Coker with the alliance discount.

Try Diamondback tires. If I get the scratch up, I'll get mine from them.

I have two sets of Coker Firestone WWs and both have cracks on the sidewalls. that's a minor appearance issue that's bothersome so not that big of deal...except they're not cheap tires. However, one set has deep cracks, splits actually, running around the cir***ference of the tires where the WW meets the black sidewall...That is a big deal.
I also have a third set of Cokers...blackwalls...on my sedan. The sidewalls on those tires look like the day I bought them 6 years ago.


I used the Alliance discount on the purchase of one set and got $75.00 knocked off the price.

 

I keep hearing about cracks in Coker tires but I haven't experienced that with any of the 4 sets I have purchased,,but I check the air pressure a couple of times a month and keep them properly inflated.

I have seen a bunch of hot rods running around at shows with under inflated tires with cracks in the tires. HRP

 

I bought 4 Firestone Delux Champs from Coker, nice tires but I just can't seem to get the whitewalls "White" ?
It's spotty with like yellow marks at different places.

 

I use Greased Lightning and a scrub brush,,mine cleaned up great. HRP

 

Is that like a household / bathroom cleaner ?
I'll have to give it a try.

 

I get it at Ace Hardware,it doesn't have bleach or abrasive acids in it. HRP

 

diamondbacks are the tire to get,just my 2 cents

 

HRP, which Coker tires do you have and what pressure do you run in them? TIA

 

Coker is too high for my blood - still running my 22 year old Firestones - tire quality is declining, expiration dates are coming, and soon they will be no longer repairable - soooooooo?

 

I've had my Diamondback white wall radials for a few years, no cracking, no issues, love 'em!

 

my diamond backs are seperating were the piecrust meets the ww. these are the ones that look like slicks. the ride real nice and i have had them four years now. just ****s 600 dollar tires (2) rears are coming apart. i also used coker tires. i had some firestone ww front tires that would not balance. they finally took them back and sent out a new set after i sent them print outs of the out of balance from a hunter road balance machine.

 

Summit started selling Coker Tires. If you dont see what you want on their website just call them and they can hook you up. MY experience was a deal just a hair better than an alliance discout straight from Coker.

And Wesley's Bleech White is where it's at. Best **** ever.

 

Hamb discount is nice for Cokers, Diamond back radials are hard to beat but have to be on the right car, mainly full fendered or customs, as the tread still looks like a modern radial .

 

got cokers on my wagon and they run well 100 + mph . power tour alone was 5000 miles since then another 3500 going to shows around the state. i use the citrus cleaner you buy in the dollar store spray it on and you can rub the dirt off with your fingers and it doesnt screw up the paint or aluminum wheels. bought with the hamb alliance discount

 

Diamondbacks. No tread splittin like coker

 

been running my coker cl***ic radials for years. no problems. would buy another set in a heartbeat.

 

Diamondbacks,2nd pic shows tread design

 

sounds like one is as good as the other. my intention is for a driver. highway miles.

 

Ive put 11000 mi on the BFG Silvertowns from Coker on my Fastback. But admittedly they are first generation old technology radials. I'm kind of liking the idea that you can now get michelin wide whites from Diamond Back. I think thats where I'm going next hoping for a bit better performance.BUCKD

 

That's what I have, Diamondbacks using Michelins, 28" tall. Drive really great.
