I went to check the recs on tires since I decided to replace mine. But the thread is locked. I'd sure like to hear what Coker says about radials since, when you use their search for my car for instance, they offer radials. Too bad only a 3.5" white wall. I'll get the Firestones with a 4" white wall. My choice has nothing to do with safety, but I am surprised that Coker would assume such liability. Don't they read industry reports? Maybe 50-era Chevy drivers careen around more than old Packard guys. This is an important issue and it would be good to put our heads together and get the best information, esp from sources like tire distributors and manufacturers. Cutting off discussion doesn't seem like the best way to deal with someone like me who is stubborn or grumpy.

Something to sleep on.
