It’s time to replace the 7 year old Radial T/A’s on my ‘73 Trans Am. I really love the look of the Coker Firestone Wide Ovals in F60-15. The square look of the tires just look right on these older cars. But I recall the ride of the old bias ply tires as being pretty bad. My car gets driven weekly, so ride comfort is important.

Coker now has a radial version of the Wide Oval in F60-15. Anyone here have experience with either of these tires?

Having grown up driving bias ply tires, I appreciate the fact that you don't want to put them on a car you drive very much.

That said, I have no experience with the Coker radial Wide Oval.

I have the radial version on my '71 TA. Haven't driven it much but didn't even notice the tires while driving. Which is exactly what i would have expected. I have bias plys on my '68 coupe and dislike them.
