Walter,
I put a new set of Coker Redlines on my TR6 4,000 miles ago and I don't
have any complaints. Most of my driving is highway/freeway and under
75mph, so I don't really push the car to the point where I need
"performance" tires. From what the Coker representative told me, these
tires are created using the original Michelin molds and ironically, Coker
has contracted with Michelin to make the tires for them.
Hope this helps.

Hello Listers:
Please forgive me for bringing up the subject of tires again...Who out
there
has the "Coker Classic" redline tires mounted on your car? What am I
sacrificing in safety and handling by using these tires? Are you happy
with
the performance of the Coker tires?
I've tried to access the archives but have been unable to connect. I just
received 3 of 4 "Coker Classic" redlines, 185R15 which I'd planned to mount
on newly purchased 8 spoke alloy wheels. One tire is still in transit.
I'm
replacing a set of 7 year old Michelin redlines that are mounted on the
stock wheels and starting to show some sidewall cracks.
These Coker tires look darn skinny ( still wrapped up tightly, of course).
So much so, that I'm concerned that I should use a new style tire
(P20570R15). I'd already considered the Pirelli P400 but wanted to keep
the
vintage redline look. I'm conflicted! HELP!
Best regards,
