Coker Tires
Apparently Coker Tires is taking a 5-25% price increase on new and pending orders. Posted over on the HAMB.

Re: Coker Tires
While on the subject of COKER Tyres, how unusual is this? Back in the early 70's, the OLYMPIC TYRE COMPANY of Australia made these 6.00 x 16" Tyres branded COKER TIRE CO for Export. I was lucky enough to get a set "out of the back door". They are still on my car and still look perfect, after all these years. |

I don't believe the hype. You still do see truck recaps blow off, but there hasn't been a notable increase in passenger car blowouts. Besides, back in the day, didn't we all drive on them till the second layer of threads were visible? I know I did, and gauged it right most of the time. The difference was if Bruce's Tires would recap them or not. Bruce's was right here in Oakland. I wonder how many remember Bruces? I think he was the first to make slicks, wasn't he?

Re: Coker Tires
So, a few of you here who have posted own your own business. Have you ever raised your prices in order to keep up with salary, inflation, cost of raw materials, shipping? I would certainly hope so.
I have a good friend is one of the top chefs/names in prime steaks. He said, for the first time ever, his cost of shipping is the same as the cost of product. |

Re: Coker Tires
Thanks Krylon32, that got me off my butt. I've been procrastinating on ordering tires.

Re: Coker Tires
Never thought I'd see it in my little hole in wall business, in the last year everything
from propane for heat, component prices including NAPA , USPO/UPS shipping, fuel has jumped noticeably. My regular source for the material I make fuel pump diaphragms from quoted a 65% increase in price. The manufacturer passed his increase on to my vendor who passed it on to me....65%. I can guarantee my prices will go up some but not near the equivalent. It's the economics of capitalism, not greed, or let's just blame it on covid. Charlie ny |

Re: Coker Tires
I personally Wouldn't mind if this company went under. I have had such poor quality from them on many occasions. I don't like tires that shake my car like I'm loosing a wheel or axle bearing. Tim
