Re: Experience with Coker Excelsior 6.00-16 tires?
Coker responded to me RE their Excelsior vs Firestone bias ply tires, saying the Excelsior should run the same as the Firestone on the freeway, no specific word about quality issues although I didn't really expect that. They suggested their radials but I've already decided to stick with bias ply tires. Dimensionally, the 6.50-16 Excelsiors are a good match for the Firestones (at least by published dimensions), the 6.00-16 seem to run a little smaller in section and tread width, so I decided to go with the 6.50 which they said would be available end of March. Summit Racing actually has the 6.00-16's in stock but not the 6.50's so I placed an order for the latter-shipping $10 to SF Bay Area. Eventually I'll report on how they work out
