Re: [Chrysler300] American Classic tyres

[RWestra@xxxxxxx]

I hear a lot of talk about various brands of tires but I don't have any 
hard evidence that one brand is superior to another.  I guess  tires are like 
spark plugs and motor oil.  Everyone has an opinion but there is no general 
agreement on any one brand. 
 
I am still trying to decide what to do for tires on my L.  I am leaning 
toward the 235 75R 14 American Classics from Coker.  I believe they are the 
only ones that have this size available.  I was unable to get the club discount 
from Coker.  They told me the 25 tire order had not been active for more 
than a year and that Eric Hawkins, our representative was no longer with 
Coker.  This will be the first time in my life I have paid over $1000 for four 
tires.  
 
The European 205 R 14 from Diamond Back (which I am told has an aspect 
ratio the equivalent of an 88) still seems small. . I am  interested in how they 
will look as well as  their performance although I do want the ride of a 
radial.  I don't put many miles on the L and none of them are much over 80 
mph.  
 
If anyone has any good suggestions about where to get the right tires for 
the L I would appreciate hearing them.  I have chased down Cooper dealers in 
hopes of finding a 1" whitewall in a 225 75R 14 (this was available in the 
Trendsetter line) but have had no luck there. 
 
Has anyone tried 8:55 or 9:00 14 bias plys on an L?  What is your 
assessment of them from a ride and handling standpoint?
