Reproduction Formula 1 Super Stock Tires?

[DarrenX33]

FYI, found this on Facebook. I know I've been waiting for this to happen.....


"Started a conversation with Andrew at Coker about interest in having Formula 1 Super Stock tires reproduced. Got an email right back, asking for specifics and quantity, fitment, etc. I responded "N50-15 and a similar height 60 or 70-15 to put on the fronts. They'll fit what they fit in the 70s which is all we care about. Just give us the tires, make them like they were so we can drive on them as we did, and we'll take care of what they fit." I told him I'd put his name as the contact and he can collect our interest and pass it upwards. Here he is - subject any correspondence FORMULA 1 SUPER STOCK INTEREST.

Yes they'd be money and yes they'd be bias ply, so save the kvetching please. This is for folks who would like to see them as repros, and this is how it happens. Email away, folks!

UPDATE 3/7 - Though I do know every email is being seen, they have requested the following format as being most efficient: Name, Address, Phone, Email, Club Affiliation (if applicable), Quantity interested in, Size, Brand/Type, Requirements/Intended service, Vehicle Fitments, and any additional info.
"They can send their inquiries to [email protected]."

So far the people I've emailed/spoken with at Coker have been great. NO guarantees, OF COURSE, this is all just to show THEM we are here and there is interest. There is so much involved in doing this and a number that looks like big interest to them is very different than to us here. But every email is now moving along to Nashville, and this is how things work. Thanks!"

Had them on all my second gen Camaro back in the day, come to think of it there was no such thing as a third gen...BKH

Currently they have N50-15 Pro Trac tires being built..... Might be tough for them to justify 2 different tires of the same size. But, you are on the right track. If you want them, you need to be vocal!!

Rusty, are those Pro Tracs bias plys?

[NorCam]

Yes the Pro Tracs are bias ply, but it sucks that the wording on the sidewalls differ from the originals and are not done in RWL...they're all black. Same issue on the L60 where they also changed the tread pattern on the 60's. Likely to do with licensing or an effort to avoid paying royalties of some kind?

Below are pics including the newer tread pattern L60's, then the L60 Originals with RWL, then the newer N50 tires with black sidewalls. I wish when they'd repop tires that the companies like Coker would keep the designs and wording the same???

When I emailed Coker I told them either do them right or not at all. No half-ass crap. i.e. wrong tread pattern, radials made to look bias, incorrect lettering etc.

I did exactly the same and said in my email "If you can't match the original tread design using the original molds with raised white letters" then don't bother making them.

Hopefully they invest in buying the original molds and not some half ass thing like they did with Pro Tracs

Actually Pro Trac did have a Street Pro bias ply. I'm thinking early 80''-82-83 era.
I am thinking Cokers Tire is correct but it was the 80's version, not 70's.
