They’re distinct, they’re old school and they’re the perfect fit for a traditional hot rod…that’s why WE love ‘em. Here are some reasons you should love them…

Fiat 131 Abarth gets new Michelin tires!

A couple weeks ago, our cohorts across the street at Honest Charley alerted us of a very cool project that we might want to document. So, we did just that and the car is now complete. It’s a 1980 Fiat 131 Abarth tribute car, and it has lots of cool parts on it. The wide fender flares and paint scheme are in-your-face aggressive, and super wide Michelin tires are a perfect fit.

Classic Car Feature: 1939 Packard

We often get opportunities to see great automobiles, but anytime a Packard pulls into the parking lot, we take notice. This one in particular caught our attention because it has a set of our tires and wheels on it! George Hubbert is the proud owner and drove it up from Duluth, Georgia to have a couple of new tires installed on the car. While he was here in Chattanooga, we took the opportunity to take pictures of his car and he even let us take it for a spin around the block.

Add Classic Style to the new Fiat 500 with whitewall tires

Coker Tire Offers A New 185/55R15 Whitewall Tire Suited for Compact Cars

New Tires for an Old Hot Rod

We’ve said it over and over again–the right tires and wheels can take a somewhat questionable car and turn it into a real attention getter! It’s a simple fact of sizing, style and stance that makes a car look great, especially in the hot rodding world. We recently had a car come in the shop that didn’t quite have the right look. With about 30 minutes of work, we helped transform it into a cool, old school hot rod!

This Model A sedan looks awesome with its new Firestones!

New Whitewalls for an Imperial!

First off, don’t call it a Chrysler because it ain’t one! Although these cars were manufactured by Chrysler and resembled all of the corporation’s weird cars of the early ’60s, this car was sold as an Imperial Crown…not a Chrysler. Anyway, these are super cool cars and they’re extremely rare, so we were surprised to see Todd Dockery pull up to our shop in one of these! He needed new tires, so we were able to get him back on the road with period correct tires for his classic Chrys…err, Imperial.

Old Dog, New Tricks….err….Tires

Chances are, if you’ve been to our headquarters sometime in the past 10 years, then you’ve probably seen the Shafer 8 racecar, aka The Coker Special. The ole car has been around for a while and we’ve driven it across the country more than 10 times, including several coast-to-coast Great Race events. The car has a Buick straight 8 engine in it, and it runs pretty darn good! It’s spent a lot of time sliding around Corkyville, but it’s about to go on yet another long trip. The revitalized Great Race starts next week right here in Chattanooga and ends at the Hemmings Motor News headquarters in Bennington, Vermont. The Shafer 8 will not be in competition but it’ll be on the trip! We’ll be riding the route in style!

New BFG Redline for 18-inch Wheels–We Got ‘Em!

That’s right, we’re proud to announce the availability of the new BFGoodrich Radial T/A Spec 245/55R18 Redline from Coker Tire! These tires were originally designed for use on the special edition Hurst Camaro, which is an awesome car built from a collaboration of the biggest names in the automotive aftermarket. Hurst, Detroit Speed and Engineering and BFGoodrich teamed up to build this car, and equipped it with a set of custom redline tires. The tires were such a hit with the public that BFGoodrich made a few extras, and they are now available right here at Coker.
