Garfield Tires

[SUHRsc]

I need to buy some new tires and just noticed the Garfield 6.50x16's that Coker sells. They seem like a cheap alternative with a nice older looking tread pattern.

Has anyone ever run these?
How are they?

The link didn't say, I assume these are bias-ply. I don't see why they wouldn't be good tires. I prefer radials but wish they would make a radial with the look of these bias-ply's.

I'm really starting to think a lot of the old-style bias ply tires Coker sells are all the same, but with different brand names. They own the rights, the molds, etc. I don't believe Garfield or B.F. Goodrich, etc. make these, Coker brands them to be historical copies of tires available back in the day.

I could be wrong and would love to know the difference, if any.

I also believe this to be true based on a phone conversation with Coker and Diamondback.
