For those Canadian goat lovers, Diamond Back Classics does have a Canadian distributor. Their name is Classic Tire Mart, 8 Ideal Point Rd, Bobcaygeon, ON KOM 1AO. His name is Ken Simkins.
I have had Diamond Backs for years and would had to see anyone put Mexican tires on their classic american muscle car. I do not like reproduction tires that take more than 12 oz. of weight, the tread will not come off or separate at the cord. I am not even going to pick on the radiating lines, that's too easy. It comes down to a pure quality issue for me. I have see too many problems with Cokers on friends' cars. Also, I would like someone to give me the DOT code on their Coker redlines so I can see where they are are made. Coker misrepresented their BFG Silvertowns as being made by BFG in a BFG plant, however, my research proved that they are made by Tornel, a bicycle and scooter tire manufacture in Mexico. What does a Michelin liscensed plant mean? Brazil? Korean?
If you read Cokers catalog and consciously put them on your car after reading all of the fine print and disclaimers, you are a bigger man than I'll ever be. Try Diamond Backs, you won't be sorry.
