| lol - yes on my G, H, studebaker bulletnose, 59 ford wagon - I have Diamondback Auburn series tires: with beautiful pie crust sidewall edges. (Not as beautiful as the original “bluedot” equipment-but as close as you can get - I think)
The 14’s do NOT have the pie crust edges - only 15’s - but they are beautifully done. Which is saying ALOT - in today’s world.
And because the white walls are “applied” they stay bright white (!) an added bonus!!! On Aug 16, 2024, at 9:17 AM, Charles Schoendorf <cschoend@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I second the Diamondback suggestion. Auburn is the model. A tubeless radial. Have mounted them on eight cars now. They look and drive great.
Tested them to 140+. But that’s another story.

I really like the look of the bias ply tires on our cars, but also appreciate the benefits of radials. That's why I am drawn to the tires that Coker sells and now Diamondback finally sells which combine the best of both worlds.

I totally concur with Steve re sticking with bias ply for low distance driving.
If you’re going to really drive it I’d look no further than Diamondback. I have several sets on a variety of Mopars …. They track beautifully and look great!
I am one who does not drive my 300F cross country or at least on very long drives. Mine is a low mileage original 300F so I am fine with bias ply tires and that is what is still on my car but the last time I bought tires for it was 8 years ago, so now I am looking to replace them. What appeals to me is a bias ply tire from Coker Classic, specifically the the height is 27.6" overall and the whitewall is 2.5" wide. Each tire is $250 and they are currently in stock. Thanks very much for that info.

Summit racing has all three tire options that you can price. I just had a set of Konito radials delivered from them. They look great
Michael:
You should check directly with Coker, as the last time I spoke with them, they did not have any 235/75x14 radial tires and were not sure they would ever get them again. I ended up with 225/75x14 radials from Lucas in Long Beach, CA. This subject has been mentioned recently on this forum, do a search.

Michael, don't drive more than a block with radial tires of that vintage the internal plies come apart in short order and at speed they'll rip your fenders off. I attached a picture of the Coker bias ply sidewall radial tire they sell. Expensive and still not big enough but the best looking tire for an F in terms of originality unless you actually go to a bias ply.

I am awaiting the arrival of this car I bought last week, but the records show the tires are about 19 years old, they are Coker P235/75R14 with 2 1/2 inch whitewalls. I am thinking I will need to get new tires since they are so old. I have bought Coker tires before, would like to have radials, but am wondering if I have any options besides Coker in that size or some other size that might work. Thanks for any ideas.
