Coker doesn't sell Goodyear.  They sell Firestone. Contact Rusty(Smallhurst) on this site or on Moparts.  He's the one to deal with on repro Polyglas tires.  I think he has a thread started somewhere on here.

 :iagree: Coker is not even an option if you're restoring a 1970 and up Mopar....They don't carry GoodYear at all :villagers:

Smallhurst sells a lot of tires, but he is a retailer for Kelsey Tire which is the manufacture.

You can deal directly with Kelsey Tire and see if they beat Smallhurst's price.  :2cents:

I know I have an account with Kelsey Tire so there is no need for a middle man for me. Worth checking into.

No Goodyears at Coker? Wow, didn't know that.

Try Lucas Tire. They have Blue Streak, Redlines, and Polyglas.
