Default Radial tires, big improvement.
I installed a new set of radial tires on my 30 A about 1500 miles ago, I have to say it was best thing I've done. Car now drives like your driving on a cloud. No more following the groves in the road. Well worth the cost, also installed new tubes and liners. After installing I had to get use to the way tires looked, they all looked low because of the radial bulge.

Vince,
Are you running 35 PSIG as embossed on the Coker tire?

I didn't buy from Coker, the tires came from Lucas Tire, American Classic brand.

Vince, Are you using the "special" tubes for radial tires? Or are you running regular tubes?

I bought tires, tubes and liners as a set, when I get home I will post who I bought them from, I know they were shipped from California.

I had a ‘69 F100 that was horrible to drive. Radials really helped it.
