Experience with Coker Excelsior 6.00-16 tires?

I'd certainly prefer to pay $128 vs $241!

I went to the Coker site and found that they have neither the 600 or 650 16s They say they will back order them. That could mean never I suppose!
Jegs says 3/7/23 on the 600-16 and 4/11/23 on the 650-16 shipped from the manufacturer.
