I am looking for radial tire option for my '51 burb. These Coker tires seem much like the original bias ply, but the are pricy. But how do they ride? Would love to hear a testimonial or opinion.

600R16

650R16


Thanks,

Kurt

Very pricy. If you are looking for a good ride with a tire that looks similar in size to the originals, use a 215/85R16. I and some others here use Goodrich T/A Commercial. Several others here run Coopers.

go to les scwhab, and ask for 650-16 tires, I found some 700-15 there that I really like. And they weren't on their website. You have to ask at the store. I don't know if they have YOUR size, but it is worth asking. I am very happy with mine.

brokenhead,

I seem to be on the wrong coast to have Les Schwab be useful, but I'll ask some of the other dealers here...
