    I need to find someone that has an out-of-production tire...7.00-18 Firestone blackwall with the pie-crust sidewall....looks like a 7.50-16 only bigger.
    Coker stopped making these 2 years ago and went to a new balloon design.
    Does anyone in your neck of the woods sell Coker tires?
    here's a pic...

    Hmmm I don't know why but I have a strange feeling that Chris could turn one up.

    It's dirtier than it looks...that ch***is is where Franke used to sit, and he leaked a bit.

    Lucas Tire used to have a page of leftover tires, but i can't find it. as I recall the oddball tires were only at one store location. they are in Cal and Ohio

    I have a pair of them Larry. I mounted them on my 18"s to build the ch***is but, obviously, they have never seen the road.

    I've thought about selling them & going with those new Coker radials. The 18"s I'd need are $250 each & then I'd have to buy fronts to match (another $380).

    I'd consider letting them go...

    Larry,

    I got you covered. These are yours if you want them.
