Coker Tire http://www.cokertire.com/ I've got the bias ply, for originality. But, now I wish; I would've got the radials. The Bias ply are bad to get flat spots. when parked.
I'll have to look at mine to remember what size. Let me go outside and look......, I've got Coker Classic L78-15. That's, larger than the originally mounted; United Royal 8.00 x 15 (I've got one of the original tires :Brow: )
I have used Diamond back tires for the last couple of sets of WWW and Redlines. They may cost a few dollars more, but I have never had a bad tire from them. I had a set of Cokers WWW on my 55 Century, and never could get them to balance out, even though we were using a state of the art computerized machine to balance them. When I called Coker about it, he said BS , the technicion doesnt know what he's doing, and wanted me to send tires and wheels back. I called Diamondback and have never gone back to Coker since. BTW the replacement tires are still on the 55 and drive perfect.
I LOVE that car!!!!!!!! Beautiful!!!! Now if I could just find some wide whites in a 235-55x65-60/16 I'd be happy!! Even if they cost $300 per....:shock:
