I have Diamondback radial wide whitewalls on my 56 400 and it never rode so well. I would never go back to bias-plys. And as a personal preference, I would not buy Coker tires.
I totally agree with Randy's Coker statement. I spent big $$$ several years ago on Coker tires for one of my cars (a Hudson) and they didn't last 2000 miles. When I was driving my '56 Patrician, I had Michelins on it and it drove perfectly. Radial tires are the #2 safety improvement you can do to a car, #1 of course being upgrading the brakes. Even with stock drum brakes on a car, it will stop better with radials vs. bias ply.
