Default Re: Coker's Firestone Dragster Blackwall

The Coker slicks look too much like snow tires in the way that the grooves are too close to the sidewall. There are other companies that sell them as re-caps but the casing sometimes reads BF Goodrich or whatever the original tire was. The best ones are the ones Radir Wheels sells directly through their web site. They are made by Mickey Thompson solely for Radir and they are entirely new tires and look fantastic. These are what I bought for my '55 after lots of shopping around. As far as hooking up, I don't know yet but I do plan on putting them through Hell very soon.
