I saw somebody advertising free shipping on a set of tires.I thought it was Coker,but it is not.Maybe it is somebody selling Coker tires.I'm sure somebody here will know who it is.

I purchased coker tires from summit racing, they have free shipping on orders over $100.00

Keith True · 04-01-2019, 05:31 PM

Thank you.That's the one.I think I looked everywhere but there.I pay almost no attention to anything that says racing in the title.I need a set of four 600X16.

That is what I purchased , had some issues with the white walls on a couple of them and summit handled everything. Very good customer service.

Yes, Summit is great if they got what you want.

Summit is the place to go.
I ordered a set of Excelsior radials for my '34 P/U Friday and they arrived today.
Free shipping and no tax.
I replaced the Firestone Deluxe Champions 5.00/16 and 7.50/16's with Stahl Radials 5.00/16 and 7.50 16 for a better ride.
As of today all on line internet orders now have to charge sales tax.
There goes another perk.

I purchased my Excelsior's from Summit, shipped freight free. They came out of 3 different where-houses but arrived in 3 days. They did charge sales tax 2 months ago

Let us know what the ride difference is..

They must be charging tax for states that have sales tax.I just ordered a set of tires and tubes,final invoice was,no tax.I am in N.H. though,and we don't have a sales tax.

The truck handled OK with the Firesstone Deluxe Champions but was not what I was usd to with my other cars. The bias plys would find a track in the road and ride it while the radials just stay where they are aimed.
I have the Stahl's on 4 of my other cars and other than a small amount of tire noise they are great and make the driving experience a lot more pleasant.
They are expensive but worth the $$$ in my opinion.
They only took 1-1.5 ounces of balance weights as opposed to the 3.00-5.00 for the Firestones as well.

The sales tax thing is a new California law that went into effect on 3/01/2019.

I'm not too fussy when it comes to old car tires.I'm not a highway traveler,so for the most part hard,black,and round is my criteria.I ordered a set of Cokers with new tubes this morning from Summit.April 2 2019.I was NOT charged a tax,

I like your basic requirements for tires. LOL!

I got away from Coker and Diamondback expensive tires, went with Older F100 5" by 15" rims and went with Cooper blackwalls. Nice tires and only $97 each for steel belted radials. Same circumference as the original 600 X 16s.
