Default Best Radial Tires

So what are our options when it comes to radial tires? Is it worth the money to switch?

It is defiantly worth the money to switch. The car rides better and tracks way better.

I have been using Cokers 19" ww radials for a few years.

Only worth it if you do considerable travel! If you do parades and ice cream trips don’t waste your money!

McMimmcs, you have an excellent point. Some Model A drivers will replace tires due to age cracks long before the tread is gone. Not a judgement just a fact.

There is also Universal Vintage Tire and Kelsey Tire. Both have websites that show most of the same tires in the Coker catalog. Happy searching!
