I'm thinking about buying a set of Coker repro, OEM-style B.F. Goodrich tires for my '61 bubbletop Impala. Can anyone direct me to a place online to buy them that might be cheaper than the Coker website?
Thanks!

I think you are going to find that the price is the price. You might check Cokers schedule to see if they are coming to a show near you, at least you could save the shipping charges.

There are very few sources I could find. I just bought a set of 5 Goodyears from Kelsey Tire. Very good service and fast shipping. Heres a link to a thread with a pic.

Thanks, guys.
The prices on Coker won't break the bank (if they did, I'd be in the wrong hobby, for sure). Just thought I'd check here first.
For example, if you check Flowmaster prices on their website, you realize you could save considerable dough by bying their products from Summit. I figured that may be the case with the tires too.
Follow-on question - where should I look for new, period-correct chrome reverse wheels?
Thanks!
