I had to look them up, because I had no idea what a Firestone F560 
was. There's something odd going on here, because everywhere else, 
the F560 is listed as a bias ply tire, but it comes up in Coker's 
list of 165R15 tires....

The only 165SR15 Coker currently sells is the Michelin XZX, for $208. 
They have others listed under 165R15 and 165HR15.

Brian's right. Coker buys the molds, so this will look just like the 
real thing, but I have to wonder how close they bother with 
duplicating the internal construction, rubber compound, and overall 
quality.
