    Please let me know of somewhere you may have purchased radial whitewall tires or would recommend? I have checked out Coker's just looking for any other options. Needed for a 49 Chevy PU. Thanks!

    This is sure to start another Diamond Back verses Coker debate but I have Coker radials on the "Ranch Wagon". HRP

    I had Diamondbacks that were absolutely fabulous. In fairness, I never had a Coker radial on a vehicle but they seem to be highly recommended.

    I have Cokers on the 47 right now, but Diamond back is literally down the street from me, so when I need new tires, it'll be based on convenience.

    I've run both, and both were great!

    I have Coker on my 1955 Ford. 2 years no problems or issues. Just bought a set o radial T A's from Diamond Back who put on the white walls for my 1947 Plymouth. Both seem fine. Diamond Back gives you a broader range of tire brands and sizes.

    Goodyear Custom Super Cushion Cl***ics are my choice.
     
  17. I bought mine direct from Diamondback, if you mention the HAMB they'll give you a few bucks off.

    I got my BF Goodrich Silvertown Radials from Coker. Saved enough with my alliance discount to pay for the membership next year.

    Just put a set of cokers on my 50 ford and i'm impressed with the ride, handling, looks. I got the american cl***ics thou which where a lot more money. Says made in usa. The cheaper ones didn't say where they were made so i'm thinking china.
