Looking for four new 19" tires for my 31. Not a show car, just need safe tires for every day driving. Who has the best quality/price? Mine are getting old and show a lot of weather checking.

Lucas tire has good tires, Coker too, Summit has good deals to look at as well. How many miles per year do you think you will drive your A?

I got the lucas 20" aa truck tires. Very happy with the looks, very neat pattern.

If you drive a lot of miles spend the extra money and buy GoodYears. You will never regret it! Wayne

If used check the date in the side wall of the tire. Also check for weather cracks and dry rot. Many used tires that have tread that looks like new are not safe. Wayne

On eBay . . . Coker / Universal tires = $99.99 each - FREE shipping within CONUS. Simple & Fast purchase deal! Too much bother going onto those clumsy parts dealer WEB sites and putting up with all the sign-up bureaucracy crap. Forget about it! Just bought one off eBay for the symbolic spare tire on back of the 31' jalopy sedan. Prefer a bare spare wheel with crisp new tire as was typical back in the old days.

Are you saying you prefer a bare spare tire to have available for your time of need ? Wayne

I called Lucas tire myself and got the same price (actually a little better as I asked if they deliver to shows - they do not so they offered a discount on shipping since I was buying 4 tires and rimflaps) than the dealer catalogs. Modern pickup truck tires cost more than these did... I am just forever grateful someone still makes tires that fit!
