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...

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...
