Coker Classic Radial vs Excelsior Radials

I like the looks of it.

 

They are all on!---gotta wait on weather to try em out *&^%$%&*

 

One more!

 

Just my .02, but I think if you raised the rear end (just an inch) the tire would "fit" the rear fender reveal perfectly. Of course, I'm looking at photos instead of the real car so I can't get the perfect perspective.

Car looks great!

 

Check out Diamondback. I like mine...

 

Thanks---hows this shot?

 

Lookin' good, GT! I'll bet it's going to give you a lot better performance, esp. on the highway...I know you drive this car long distances. Keep us posted after your first test drive.

 

I will---first chance I get I'll drive it 50-100 miles on all kinds of roads & give an update

*****in man! I still think it needs to come up "just a touch". Ignore me though, I don't know much!

Hey Gary,lookin good
i'm sure it will make that long trip to the frog follies more enjoyable. Hope to you there. Ron

 

I've had dozens of people tell me that this car sits "just right" and it will stay that way as long as I own it.

 

Thanks
See you in August!!!!

 

Then don't mess with perfection. All of our eyes see things slightly differently, and it's really hard to tell through pictures! Dozens of people who've seen it in person trump one person across the country behind a keyboard!

Again, *****IN' car man!!!

 

I think I found the tires for my '56 Cadillac. They're Diamondback 700R15's. They have a bias-ply look to them. I'll be picking those up next month.

Finally!!!Took the car out & drove 40-50 miles yesterday,drove on everything from gravel to new highway---BIG improvement!!! Damn thing corners like a go-kart,doesn't follow cracks in the road & just better handling all around. No shake,no shimmy Had it up to 80 mph & was steering with 1 finger. Ride seems about the same,BUT have 36 psi in all 4 ---going to play with pressures & will probably improve the ride. The rears 750x16 are 6 ply rated and the rear of the car is light---can probably let them down quite a bit---have to experiment with that

SOOO yee of little faith --these tires came from Coker and are not square,and didn't take much weight to balance them--IN FACT one of the rear ones didn't require any weight at all!!!!
So far I am very happy with them

 

So your converted, next... Glad your got the weather coming your way now to get out and enjoy, We are just heading into winter and putting the toys away, Have fun with it, JG

 

good to hear..positive results,going to have my 40 finished soon and needing tires thanks for everybodies input
