Kev, my car was shod with the Cokers between 2001-2003, and was parked. When I got the car a few years ago, the tires still had the lil nibs on them...and they were still holding air after 8-10 years of sitting. The white had discolored, but a very quick scrub with blechewhite took care of that. I've been able to put several hundred miles on them without issue, and there is NO sign of dry rot.

I read on the Coker website at some point that they have a "tread life warranty", meaning they're covered as long as there is tread on the tires. Apparently they are formulated to last longer than modern tires.

As for driving performance, I have no reference/comparison basis as this is the only set of tires I've had on the car, and only car with bias tires I've ever driven, but I don't have any complaints.

I hope this helps! I'll measure the WW width this evening.
