    Any input on the Firestone cheater slicks made by Coker?
     
  2. Those are UGLY!!! A while back I bought a pair as they looked "good enough" at the time. They said money back if I didn't like them in person. Again, when they arrived they looked "good enough" and I wanted to move forward with the project, so I ate a little shit and kept them. Once mounted/inflated they looked like shit. They said, too bad, now I own em since I mntd them. Shortly after my friend pointed out a lot of small sidewall cracks. Coker then gave me a full refund, shipping included. I've seen a bunch of em over the yrs and shake my head each time on how lucky I was to not keep them. They're too "round" looking for a cheater regardless rim width, and the thumbrint/pie crust design is too heavy. I know, they're a copy of an existing tire from the 60's..........but I don't like anything about how they look

    Well I know a lot of guys have been over 99 mph on their Hurst without them letting go, but it didn't change their Q rating. So does anyone know what the others are rated?

    I tire tested my radirs to 168 mph. They passed.

    God Bless because either you are crazy or have a death wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Keep trying that and let us know how it works out for you!!!

    Read their own website for where they are rated.

  5. I have been running those speeds for over ten years now. Blessed and crazy maybe. Good tires for sure.
     
  6. I ran my Hursts with both radial in front on my old 54 and Bias ply cycle tires on my old T. Worked fine with both.
