Wide Oval Radials from Coker..

Sounds like a great idea to me. If it is a well-engineered tire with good quality control, they should sell a ton of them.

Kelsey needs to do the same thing with the Goodyear polyglass and the wide treads that so many of the late 60's and early 70's cars came with.

I saw these at Sema, where they had their debut and to honest I had to do a double take after realising their was no bias ply shoulder.
I think they will be one of those items that will polarise the hobby to some degree. There will be those that love them and those that will not.

Agreed Larry...I spoke to Rusty Small at MCACN about Kelsey possibly doing a radial version of the Goodyear Polytglas GTs...did not seem to be much interest at Kelsey from his perspective. Anyone have any contacts direct at Kelsey?

Sorry, you are not going to find anyone else who is going to be talking to Kelsey more than I am.

Kelsey's stance is that he has always been the most accurate reproduction tire on the market. He is not ready to jump into this and like someone else mentioned, polarize the market.

I am going to be watching the results and listening to what is being said.

As for radials, Kelsey is taking care of the 70's and into the 80's with accurate tires for the era.

As for the pricing, I do not see it sliding back down. The testing necessary for DOT on radials is a lot more than the bias plys.

If anyone purchases these tires, I would be interested in hearing about the way these tires preform.
