Tires?
« on: March 07, 2014, 20:25:28 »
are 185/HR 14 tires other than Coker available? I like the Cokers. Do we get any discounts on
an order of five tires? I also want blackwall tires for the factory bundt wheels I have.
Any information will be much appreciated.

one other thing, does anyone have a good set of bottom brackets for the USA
Turn Signal assemblies and chrome bezels? this is where the bottom screw tightens the assembly.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Sincerely
Bob Geco

Bob,

There are a variety of tire topics posted here all the time.
The Cokers are indeed expensive and they have not been giving any discounts. Also, some people have had balance issues with them.
The latest great tire that people are praising is the Vredestein Sprint Classic, which is a BW tire. It comes in the 185/HR14 size.

https://www.universaltire.com/vredestein/185hr14-vredestein-sprint-classic-blackwall.html  At $163.00 it isn't cheap, but that's one place you can get it.

Some people have had white walls installed on the Vredesteins, but by the time you do that you are up in the Coker price class!
