Red stripe still looks to be in the wrong position on the sidewall. Other than that I think it as a fine idea

Re: Wide Oval Radials from Coker..
 

I LOVE that they kept the original tread design,as that was always a pet peeve of mine about the radial.
Looks pretty good on the vid,but I'd still like to see the edge siping transition up close.
I like the prices quoted,but would hope that would maybe become less if more people buy them over time?

I could see buying a set for weekly driving,but Bias-ply will always grab better in my book.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

That is awesome! We discussed this demand in a thread a couple of years ago. Best of both worlds for those of us who prefer radial tires for routine driving on our muscle cars but still want the original look. Can't wait!

I'd be happy if they reproduced the correct 69 Wide Oval. Wonder why they don't???

Sounds like a great idea to me. If it is a well-engineered tire with good quality control, they should sell a ton of them.

Kelsey needs to do the same thing with the Goodyear polyglass and the wide treads that so many of the late 60's and early 70's cars came with.

I saw these at Sema, where they had their debut and to honest I had to do a double take after realising their was no bias ply shoulder.
I think they will be one of those items that will polarise the hobby to some degree. There will be those that love them and those that will not.

I will let's lots of people try them before I jump on board:-)

I tried to order a set of G/70/15's a few weeks ago. They're listed on their site, but they aren't available yet. It looks like he F's are available now.
