Radial Or Bias Ply Tires

[ronn]

Brokenvette-let us know how your European classics work out. They are a great looking tire.
I wtd to buy a set, to compare with the Excelsiors I had already bought. But, the Universal offer from Coker was too good to be true, so no Europeans this round.......
only a 2nd set of Excelsiors

Ronn; will let you know. They are going on a truck I am restoring. Chassis is finished. Body will go back on first of March. Hope to test drive late spring if goes according to plan.

thank you Brokenvette.
My excelsiors just arrived an hour ago.


so my cars will have some "new" shoes.

I also recently bought some tires. I got them from Cooker to get that sweet 10% off and free shipping. Ended up going with BFGoodrich bias-ply whitewalls and it came out to ~1500 after taxes. Ordered the tubes from Bratton's and everything should be in by the end of next week.

The inspection stickers have to be removed. They will cause flats.

Don't seem like that great of a deal Mike, the radials could have been had for less..... The tubes and rim liners have been delivered, and the tires are scheduled to arrive this Saturday...

The new Coker radials that I ordered in December were due to be shipped on March 22 but now they say end of April....
Guess things are busy in China.

They're probably on a container ship getting shot at by Yemeni insurgents.

You mean the Houthis are targeting my tires ?

The main problem with global commerce right now is you've got the Houthis targeting traffic going through the Suez canal, and drought in Panama causing long traffic jams at that canal. So anything coming from Asia will be delayed getting to the east coast regardless of which direction the boat goes. So I mean it's a joke but also I seriously think your tires are sitting on a container ship somewhere and it's been delayed for one of the reasons I described.
