I installed a new set of radial tires on my 30 A about 1500 miles ago, I have to say it was best thing I've done. Car now drives like your driving on a cloud. No more following the groves in the road. Well worth the cost, also installed new tubes and liners. After installing I had to get use to the way tires looked, they all looked low because of the radial bulge.

Vince,
Are you running 35 PSIG as embossed on the Coker tire?

Jeff/Illinois · 01-15-2020, 03:22 PM

Vince what brand did you buy and where did you get them? Thanks.

VinceBlack · 01-15-2020, 10:17 PM

32 psi

I didn't buy from Coker, the tires came from Lucas Tire, American Classic brand.

Vince, Are you using the "special" tubes for radial tires? Or are you running regular tubes?

I bought tires, tubes and liners as a set, when I get home I will post who I bought them from, I know they were shipped from California.

I had a ‘69 F100 that was horrible to drive. Radials really helped it.
