I have several friends who bought Coker tires for their antique cars
and are very unhappy with them. They won't stay balanced and shake
the daylights out of the cars at 50 MPH or more. Coker just licences
the name and tire style for certain sizes, and rents or buys the
original moulds, so the tires look right, but they are not built the
same as the originals.
