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

["EMATC millserat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The DOT Codes I was given for more recent Coker Classics and I have on an earlier vintage Coker classic both came back made in Mexico but different plants - I don't have specific info in front of me.

The DOT code for American Classic came back from the City named Indiana in the state of Pennsylvania. I have no information that Coker owns American Classic - and I doubt that since American Classic for years were sold by Coker competitors.

I believe these are 2 separate and unrelated tires based on name and plant locations

I believe that some earlier posts had validated that American Classics (owned by Coker) were manufactured in Pennsylvania.

Spoke with James at Diamondback today - still no good news from his shop for those of us running 14" tires - again he said "Hoping for next spring" so I'll keep running my 8 year old Diamondback tires with 45,000 miles on them for at least this year. He said American Classics are manufactured by the same folks who manufacture Coker Classics - at locations in Indiana and in Mexico. I'll be curious to hear your experiences with these tires over extended trips of highway driving.

Do we have any new updates on the Coker 14" whitewalls that have been coming along for several years? I have had good results from my last set after having the rims balanced first. Have to check when back home, but probably well over 12,000 miles and most at highway speeds up to 95 mph. Usually 75-80 on your nice midwest interstates. I was not happy until Coker suggested getting the rims balanced. New ballgame after that. 
High 80's in Winnipeg area yesterday!

   Harry,
              Thanks for your updates on the F tire project.
              Have you had a chance to run them at speed.   How about the balancing process.

I just installed American Classics and are happy so far, but have not got on the freeway yet.
