No experience with Coker tires but just last year I replaced the Lesters on my '34 Packard. They were 27 years old and despite nearly "as new" appearance I had lost confidence in them for tours. Yet internally (inpsected after removal) and externally they showed no significant sign of age. Yes, I was foolish to keep them so long but it supports what many others have observed, bias tires seem to last longer than radials before they begin to show visible signs of age.

I replaced them with Bedford Famous Coach tires, an older brand that has of late become very popular for the 17-20" sizes. They have a great "of the era" appearance and thus far I'm very pleased with them.
