I want to go with a radial for better ride but was shocked at Coker's prices. I want the tire to have a bias ply original look to it. Any recommendations appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 | Try Diamondback tires..........I bought my tires there...however none of those tires are cheap..

I purchased a set of 6 tires (215/85R16) Michelins for $100, put over 5000 miles on them already. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I would be very careful buying used tires. Unless they came off a vehicle you either used personal or at least know how it was used, you really don't know what you're getting. Even if they do look good, you'll want to check the codes to make sure how old they are. It's getting to where many shops will not install tires over 4 years old due to liabilities, and many will not mount or sell used tires at all. I'm not saying you can't find a good deal, just saying to use caution.
