Christmas

[Jerry Hall]

I guess I wasn’t paying attention. Didn’t think 15 inch rims were available in b bodies in 67. A person can always learn something. Just hope to remember it.

15" rims were not available that I know of, but I have these rims already. They are not original to the car. I just wanted something with a little more meat on the car. Also G 70's were not original tires. 775-14 were stock. Another point is Mopar used Goodyear and Ford used Firestone. If I go to any shows where original is a must, I have some original 14" magnums in almost perfect shape with redline 775-14's that are 1979 date codes.

No more track days at Talladega!

Finally got a response out of UVT / Coker this morning. Despite advising me back in March that they expected to have restock by August this Summer, I now get "I have no date listed for its availability" ! Guess I'll stick it out until April with my name on the backorder list, then I guess it's some modern radials..

Christmas was a bust. Those tires are going back.

I didn't get the 4th picture as I already had customer service on the line voicing my opinion.

That sucks, now you know why they were 1/2 price!

That said, I pulled up Kelsey Tire and talked to them an hour ago. It took a FULL 3 minutes to get an email response to "do you have four of these in stock before I bother completing an online order". YES!

All this time that I've been waiting for Coker / UVT to piss or get off the pot, five years now, and Kelsey has had stock !

Christmas for my R/T. Today Coker delivered 4 new tires for my 67 R/T. They had a G70 15 on sale or I would have never paid the original price. They had a 1/2 price on that particular size. Check them out they may still be on sale, but remember their still not ch

What about Kelsey Tire? Are they still selling the Polyglass repro's?

I don't think I ever saw Good Year POLYGLAS G70 15 red lines reproduced. In 1989 I had to settle for the COKER brand. Still on the car to this day. They also balanced really badly. I had to send one back for a replacement.

Friend of mine put Coker house brand redline radials on his 67 Coronet.

He had nothing but issues, Lost 2 of them to belt separation in the 1st 18 months

All took a lot of weight and never could get a nice ride with them
He was about to replace them with modern RWL tires but sold the car before he could

I received the second set of red line tires from Coker early last week and went to the tire shop for round 2. They mounted one and put it on the balancer and it was going to take a pound of weight +. I didn't even have them try the other 3. All are dismounted and 4 went back today. As soon as I get return labels the other 4 are going back for a refund. @dadsbee was correct, that's why they were 1/2 price.
I called Summit this afternoon and now have 4 Diamondback red lines on the way. Going to see how they work out.
