No white walls?
Those are cool looking tires
Here is all the dope on these:
Coker Tire
Manufacturer Part Number: 700311
Car Type: Vintage
Overall Diameter: 27.59
Tire Type: All Season
Recommended Rim Width: 5 - 6
Section Width: 800
Sidewall Description: Black Side Wall
Load Index: 97
Tube / Tubeless: Tubeless
Speed Index: S
Wheel Diameter: 14
As far as I know, these are the only radial look a likes available. I didn't see any with a white wall. (I could be wrong however, it has happened at least once)

Do you like whitewalls with body color wheels and dog dish caps?
I don't care for white walls in general, I also don't care for tires that cost more then $90ea. Even though I did pay $240ea for some American Classics on my Fairlane, I know your pain.
These are called American classics. Are these the same ones you bought? If so, how do they perform?
P.S. I also don't care for paying this much for tires. These are the most expensive ones I've ever bought and I don't own a monster truck!
The cheapest ones are on my 66 Impala that I paid $7 dollars a piece for at the EZ pull.

American Classic is the brand, not Coker. I buy local for a little less. I had wide white American Classic so not the same tire but they were typical radial tires, I wouldn't expect anything less from those.
I think I did. A quick look just now and I don't see any black walls. The ones I did look at did not have the "pie crust" look I was after. The tread looks like a modern radial to me. I wanted the "vintage" look.
I think they look outstanding. Nice and tall too which has ALWAYS been my issue with running radials on these cars. I have the radials on the car at the moment and just hate the way they look. Sidewall is way too short.
