I have Coker Classics on my '50 and I'm not happy. I had BF Goodrich Radials at first and they were smooth as silk at any speed. I wanted the wide whitewalls and bought Cokers. They have been rough riding since day one, feel like they have lumps on them. I talked to a Coker rep at Hershey last Oct. and was told that they take care of their customers and he suggested I have them "road force' balancec and send him the results. After having them balanced as suggested, it was found that 2 were way out of the balancing range and 2 were not too bad, but not perfect. I sent the results to the rep and never heard a word since. I put the best tires on the front and can drive it almost satisfactorily. I'll see how it does driving to Tahoe.
