Gold Stripe Radial tires

[Michael J.]

I am looking for 1 gold stripe radial tire (P205/15) for my '66 Vette. The set I have are fine, except one has a big split in the sidewall I know is going to fail somtime. They are Coker Classics, but Coker doesn't have them or make them anymore, not on their website. Anyone know where I could find one? I have tried Zip and Corvette Central, no luck. Thanks.

How old are the other 3 as Coker discontinued them?

Not sure, but they have almost new tread and the rubber looks good, so maybe a couple of three years?

Diamondback sells excellent goldline radials. I bought a set for my 65 and a set of redlines for my 68. Good people to deal with. Their tires even balance

Great thanks. I will take a look, I also have found B.F. Goodrich goldlines on ePay. Maybe I should replace all 4? Cokers have had issues before.

Mike,
I recently bought 4 redline Michelin tires from Diamond Back and sold my 4 Coker redlines that were 4+ years old for $300. So if you decide to upgrade to 4 new tires and your old tires have decent tread, consider selling them to offset the price of the new tires.
