    Diamond Back redline tires

    Had to replace ALL of my 4 whitewall tires made by Coker Tire which had approximately 1,200 miles on them just over four years old; three years of which when they were in storage, with air, on rims while the car was having an off frame restoration. All four had SEVERE tire separation and Coker...

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    Last comment. BlackDiamond tires arrived after seven weeks, Discount Tire mounting, I inquired if Discount was still offering extended warranty, they quit in 2020, to many problems. With discount the largest tire retailer, kinda says it all!

    Rims-Stock-14”

    I installed rear disc brakes on my 65 Sports Fury and my rims will not fit on the rear with fender skirts. If I run 5.5” width rims with 3.75” back spacing it works but I only have three and needing four; consistently, rotation; spare. (Laymen measurements are 6.5” X 4.0). Bolt pattern is 5 and...

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    I hate to keep elaborating on the matter but the more I work on resolving the the issue, the more extensive I discover the problem or should I “problems” are! So far I have taken three of the four tires off the car to take the tires/rims to Discount Tire because the tires are are not drivable...

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    I would seriously suspect the equipment, process and materials used by Coker are the same for all lines and not separate.

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    Interesting point. The fact they ALL failed obviously indicates a manufacturing defect that coul get someone killed.

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    They where off the car and stored inside for 3 1/2 years of those five years while the car was being restored. They went back on the car and went bad after a total of approximately 4 1/2 years including the 3 1/2 years. They have approximately 1,200 miles on them and the spare also went bad and...

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    It has been 6 weeks since I ordered the Diamondback vs. the Coker which supposedly will be in today or tomorrow. In the meantime, the car has been sitting in the garage because there is so much separation the car literally goes up and down when you drive it that one would think your driving it...

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    Your right, got the Diamonds. Five week lead time just when the weather is getting decent for a convertible in Arizona.

    Coker Classic vs. Diamond Back Tires

    I purchased 4 Coker Classic tires in August 2018 for my 1965 SF, put roughly 1,000 miles on them and started off frame restoration in January, 2020 (roughly 18 months after tire purchase). Tires were inflated and on rims, stored. Tires and rims went back on car in January, 2022 (24 months...

    14" wheels and Wilwood disc swap

    Had the same problem when I put in all Wildwood disc brakes in my 65 SF after having put in ones that claimed they would fit but didn't. Different wheels have different offsets. Need to get the right wheel with the right offset. Not an easy task!

    Electric Brake Booster and Blue Tooth.

    Phone not plugged into car but it is the phone which disconnects and quits transmitting via blue tooth. Therefore, logic would be it is not a power supply issue from the "transmitter" At the same time, if it is a drop in the power to the Blue Tooth Receiver in the car which then of course has...

    Electric Brake Booster and Blue Tooth.

    Not sure what part you refer? They all work good except the blue tooth until I step on the brakes.

    Electric Brake Booster and Blue Tooth.

    If it can't be readily identified and rectified, the easiest solution would be to disconnect the AM Adapter from the blue tooth and plug that directly into the old i-phone which I am using. My GTO is set up that way and isn't as convenient by it works, Thanks for the input.

    Electric Brake Booster and Blue Tooth.

    "That seems extremely complicated and unnecessary for a classic car." Actually when it comes to restoring a classic car, that whole statement applies but it sure cleaned things up under the hood and not having power brakes it sure was an improvement and then there is the installation of disc...

    Electric Brake Booster and Blue Tooth.

    Setting the stage: I installed an electric brake booster in my 65 SF and a RediRad AM Adapter along with Bluetooth as part of my restoration. Both work fine BUT incompatible. When I am using the blue tooth and I tap the brakes, the blue tooth on my i-phone quits working and I have to...
