RE: [Chrysler300] 300E tires - 14"'

["John L. Chesnutt" <chesnutt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We bought Cokers for my 1957 300C in April 2005 and had them delivered to
the Portland Swap Meet for pickup.. Have driven them only 33 miles. We had
to put too much weight on them to get a good balance. We even rotated the
tire on the rim 180 degrees. This corrected the balancing some but one tire
has still too much weight.

We are getting our 300C ready to drive it to the Chrysler 300 meet at Tacoma
Washington, August 26 -30. Just replaced the brakes on the front including
new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and rebuilt Power Brake Booster and
the short rubber brake line below the master cylinder. It was completely
blocked due to age.

We are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and had driven it 50 years
ago from Seattle to Mexico. It still runs great. Over the years, we rebuilt
the engine twice and put 10 1/2 pistons in the 392.

Those who come to the Tacoma meet will see an all original Copper Brown 300C
except for the motor modifications. It still looks good after 51 years.

I have had 6 sets of Coker Classic radials and 3 sets have had tread  
separations and one set took 20 ounces on one of the tires to balance.  
I would buy ANYTHING but Coker!
