Go Summit Racing website and enter the size and there are about 3-4 other options. I thought Cokers price was tro much, I ordered Koneto . I am not sure I have the spelling correctly

FYI………I just recently returned from Chryslers at Carlisle. I am needing a set of tires for my 300E… the old 235/75 R 14 is preferable. By chance I stumbled upon the Coker Tire vendor spot on the fairgrounds. After waiting a half hour for some fellow who couldn’t decide what he wanted and wound up leaving without any decisions being made, I sauntered up to the Coker rep who was waiting, laptop in hand. I asked him to please give me a price on their newly improved Coker Classic in the aforementioned 235 size. The price he quoted me was $435 per tire, before any taxes, fees or shipping. So it looks like if you ordered a full set of these tires and had them shipped to …say Illinois, you would be spending close to $2000 for a set of tires. No wonder Coker no longer lists their tire prices in the hobby magazines.

Hi Dave,

The factory equivalent size, in radial form, is 235R75/14. These are not currently available.

As Dave Dumais emailed me this morning, the brand new Coker radials that he had ordered and that were promised him by June are still not available.

The next best radial size is the slightly smaller 225R75/14, available from 2 sources. There's Diamondback - www.dbtires.com. Their various tire offerings are manufactured in different countries, including China and South Korea. Several of our Club members have been running these, and are happy with them. This past Saturday, I visited with Marilyn Reed at Mopars at the Red Barns at the Gilmore Car Museum, who just had these mounted a month ago on the 300-F coupe she and her late husband, Mike Reed have owned for 45 years. Marilyn said her F "drives like a dream" with these new tires.

A second source for the 225R75/14 tires is Kontio - that I understand are engineered in Finland and manufactured in China. Some of our Club members are running these and are reportedly happy with them.

You can click on the 'archives' link attached to this email and read the recent emails discussing these various tires. Kontios are I think less expensive than Diamondbacks.

Looking forward to seeing you in Omaha!
