I have been using the Coker American Classics on all of my old cars for years. I currently have a set on my 55 Caribbean and although I have not put a great deal of miles on them, they appear to work as well on the Packard as they have on the other cars. I wish I had waited until Coker offered the radials with the sidewalks that look like the original bias ply tire but....
My experience with the tires on my other cars has been both better handling than bias ply and dramatically greater tore life. They are especially impressive in traversing grooved pavement.
I used bias ply tires on my 55 Cadillac for years and the tires seldom lasted 10,000 miles. Universal Tires introduced me to the radials and the nominal difference in price was well worth the investment.
