I just wanted to let you guys know that the latest Muscle Car Review issue has an article on the new Coker Firestone wide-oval red line radials. They don't have the hard edge and the red line isn't into the sidewall like the original bias plies, but for everything related to handling they got a good review.

The article gave the information I was assuming.

Less noise
Better handling
Less tracking/following road defects

It was kind of silly as they changed the size of the tires from (bias ply) small 14's to (radial) mid size 15's:-(
