RE: [Chrysler300] Coker Tires way past 'best before date'

Mark -

 

I would avoid Coker branded tires. I've heard lots of stories about premature failures. Coker (and others) market a brand called American Classics, which I found are superior tires. I have them on two of my cars and I'm very happy.

Thanks to all for all the timely and thoughtful responses.  Lots to think about and experienced counsel from you helped make the decision easy.  I’ll be rolling on new tires by the weekend.  Thanks again.  Mark

All; 
I’m trying to get by on a set of Coker Classics in my 300F, but want to drive the car about 250 mi north to the 300 Club meet in Rohnert Park in a couple of weeks.
The tires seem fine as I tool around Palm Desert on 20-30 mi runs, often at 60- 70 mph in stretches.
Lots of tread depth and no side wall cracks or blisters but here are some hair line cracks on the side wall running parallel to the wheel, just outside the wheel lip.
I’ve been told everything from ‘get new tires immediately to cheap sob’ to ‘if the cracks deepen to 1/8", it’s time to buy new tires’ to ‘hell, roll ‘em off the rims, it’s all a scam by the manufacturers just trying to get you to buy more tires more often’.
It’s hot weather here now, 90-100 in the daytime and I’ll be rolling up I5 to San Francisco at 60-65 mph. It’s likely 7-8 hours with three or four stops along the way.
Question: ‘get new tires you cheap sob’ or ‘roll ‘em off the rims’?
Thanks,
Mark
