I've had Cokers in the past and they were the absolute worst tire I have ever had on any vehicle I have ever owned. I'm not alone in this experience.

If you want whitewalls, go with Diamondback. If you want blackwalls, you can find light truck tires in that size. 225x85R16 is pretty close to the original bias ply size.
