I’m going to be calling Coker tire and hear what they have to say. Off course they are going to blame the shocks and springs. It can’t be the tires!! I never had a problem with my old bias ply tires  |
Getting a little off topic here but a common oversight made by people when they install the rear hubs is they do not make sure there is
absolutely no oil or grease on the taper either on the axle or in the hub. No matter how much you tighten the nut, if there is lubrication in there, they will not hold.
