I have had 1 set of Coker Red Line tires. Loved the look but they were horrible tires. Drastically out of round and required a huge amount of weight to balance. I called and talked to them. Got the usual song and dance story like I was some kind of moron. There was probably some slim chance I could received a partial refund after jumping through lots of hoops. I expected better for $1000.00 for 4 small tires. I ended up having to have about 50% of the tread shaved off with a tire truing machine to make them round. Also using a combination of hammer-on and stick-on weights to get a good balance and still get the trim rings on. Overall, a miserable experience. Done with Coker. They are fine if you don't drive the car.

Everything used to be so much simpler in the good old 20th century ...

Sorry I haven't posted any updates regarding the redline tires issue that I've been dealing with since November 2024. Coker tire first representative told me to drive it for 100 miles and the redline color will come back. The second rep told me they were too old, and I didn't take care of them and asked for a receipt that I had lost and said how do they know I didn't buy it used and I'm trying to warranty them. I sent them their warranty policy nowhere it states that I have to be the original owner or the age of the tires it just states they will prorate it with tread depth. The third rep was more arrogant than the last two and he told me maybe I purchased it from Summit or Jegs and said if I can find a receipt that he will replace them. After more digging couple of months later I found the receipt from Summit and a charge on my credit card statement I called him back, and at this time he told me I had to go through Summit Racing. I made one phone call and Summit Racing took care of it. Coker tire is the manufacture, and they should stand behind their product and nowhere in their policy states that I have to go through the dealer. I admit that I couldn't remember where I purchased the tires from originally. Coker tire customer reps are terrible, and the last person was making stupid comments. Summit Racing customer service is above and beyond. The moral of the story is if you're absolutely going to buy vintage/classic tires don't buy it from Coker buy is from Summit
