Re: [FWDLK] Tires

[Glenn Barratt <FURY@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't heard of any problems with the correct assembly line tires
available from Kelsey Tire, the Goodyear Custom Super Cushion.
Of course they look 100% original, and you will be supporting fellow
American workers by buying them, so most drivers would frown upon them these
days I guess...
Taiwanese tires? No thanks.
Glenn.

Neil -

The Coker issues of years ago have been discussed either here or on the 300
list. Coker's reaction at the time was a 'scramble' to save face. From what
I understand, the problem has been addressed and I haven't heard of any
recent problems. I plan to get Cokers for my 58 Ply, as I don't anticipate
any lengthy travel with the Ply, and I'd hate to throw out a set of
expensive Diamondbacks after only 10K miles (or less).
