64studeavanti Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 AFAIK modern tires have a short life, maybe 5 years. I have a set of BFG, 205R15, on one of the Avantis, maybe 12 years old, always in garage, they have cracked sidewalls. I also have a set of Coker Bias tires, 6.70x15. They are about the same age and still look good. Bought some Coker American Classic, 670R15, last year. Too soon to tell how they hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A83 Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 Thank you both very much - heard good things about Cokers- will check out Vogues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Lackie Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Have had good luck with Coker bias-ply white walls, but never owned their radials. I have Diamond Back radials on a couple of my cars. They will even make custom white walls in special widths. Their white walls are still white after many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plwindish Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 I'm late to the post, but I've had good luck with Vogue Red lines that have the white wall. I ordered them through Tire rack.com. I started looking for other tires after getting the new aluminum Halibrand wheels from Real Rodders. Coker's were back ordered on me twice so I looked around and found the Vougues which were $100 per tire cheaper than the Cokers and came with a warranty. They were shipped to my local tire shop within 3 days of buying online and I've been very happy with them in the nearly year and a half that I've had them. They ride nice, no road noise and clean up quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfelr Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 RQB3263/81 I also very recently installed VOGUE TIRES with excellent results .....the majority of the WANDERING characteristic in king pin Avanti is almost gone, superior ride..... (i did everything else reasonably to eliminate the FLOAT without success) and they look great !! trivia Q.... do you know where they are made ?
