Re: Coker classic radials.
Thanks for the positive reports everyone. I really appreciate your help.
I feel much more confident now.

Coker classic radials.
I have just bought a set of Coker Classic 600 16 tires for my 36 coupe.
Already Im hearing that they are not all that good.
Does anyone have something good to say about them?
