Radir Wheel makes a cool M/T vintage slick in smooth and grooved tread. I have a set on my "Galaxie"...BKH

Years ago, many local guys ran Coker recaps at the track just because they were very 'Sticky'. Soft tire compounds were all that mattered at the time.

Next step up was "real" drag slicks from Firestone or Goodyear.

Is Coker trying to get into the vintage tire market?

Correction........................................ .......

Was meaning to say is Coker getting into vintage drag tires, or simply repoping the same stuff they've been doing for a long time?

A few Vette owners like they're Silvertown repops. Yet, I've never seen a faithful repop Camaro tire come from them. Correct me if I'am wrong plesae

Try Kelsey Tire for Goodyears. You can get the Firestone 200's for a 69 Z/28 from Coker.
