Coker Red Line Tires
« on: January 31, 2008 - 12:06:50 PM »
Anybody here buy the Redline Radial tires from Coker ?
If so how do you like them ?
I am thinking about getting a set for my 67 GTX.
Thanks

I have a friend that has some and likes them.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Is there really much choice?  If you're looking for factory appearance tires I don't know that there's much of anything else besides Coker...

I got Firestone redlines on the vert for the time being, it handles pretty good considering the bias ply and I do like the looks. Had them on my Fastback for a while, but it was a real pain to drive. The car was all over the road. :banghead:

I Know the Coker Radials are no where correct in appearence but I have the correct bias on there since 1993 when I restore it but I am really afraid to drive it to far or to fast because they handle like crap.
Just wondering if any body had any problems with them as far as wear or balancing .

I personally love the Redline tires as i think they just finish off the car with that crowning glory.

I would look around as coker are not the only guys.  Check these guys out as well.
