Coker Classic Nostalgia Radial Tyres: Old-School Style with Modern Performance

Whitewall tyres weren't originally created for looks. A small company competing with BF. Goodrich increased tyre strength by adding carbon black to white tyre rubber but scrimped on costs by using it only on the treads and leaving the sidewalls white. The look caught on and would ironically become a sign of class status from the 1930s through the 1970s. True story.

Coker Classic Nostalgia Radial Tyres give you the classic wide-whitewall look with modern performance. The tyres feature the classic profile of a bias-ply tyre with the superior handling and ride quality of modern radials.
