------John,,,Nice to see you over here every once in awhile! After living with a set of Corky Cokers gold-line radials for several years now I could not ever recommend them. I would rather have bias-plys. His radials are such low performance tires that once they are on a performance type car they are just evil handlers. Another radial,,,,maybe, but not the Cokers......Bill S

I agree - many of the "Coker Classic" radials (made in Mexico in modified old segmented Michelin molds) also have issues with sidewall cracks/separations, out-of-round problems, force variations WAY out of spec, excessive weight required to balance, etc.

A much better alternative is Diamond Back tires in Conway, South Carolina - they'll put any sidewall treatment you want (smoothie, white, gold, red, etc.) on modern performance radials made in modern tire plants, and they're nice folks to deal with (family business).
