New Tires- B F Goodrich or Excelsior Tires

[REByar]

I am looking to replace a set of Firestone tires that are about 20 years old. They are finally starting to ware and crack. Has anybody had any experience with B F Goodrich BW tires or Excelsior BW Tires ? Both are sold by Coker Tire. The B F Goodrich BW are listed at $178 and the Excelsior are $156. They will be going on a 1928 Tudor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have BFG's on my Tudor and have been happy with them, I've been thinking about replacing them with radials from Coker. The BFG's only have a few thousand miles on them, but they are at least 20 years old.

My first 2 sets of tires were Firestones. I went with the BFGs about 8K miles ago. I think they are more stable then the Firestones. The BFGs go straight down the road with little or no wandering. I cannot say the same for Firestones. The BFGs are worth the extra money.

Thanks Dick M and Big Hammer. I think I will go with the BFG.

If I were you I'd invest a few more dollars and buy Goodyears!
