COKER TIRES?----- Can anybody tell me how good this tire is for a daily-runner? -strictly solo rigid Pan. A friend of mine needs new sneakers on his scoot & the COKERS I showed him He really likes!--His ? is how long they will last. Roads are regu;ar asphalt like anyplace & He has been getting KILLER MILEAGE out of the CONTINENTALS!, But I showed him the COKERS & here is where were at!--Anybody riding these daily? & if so How do you like them pros/cons. Just trying to help somebody that I cant account for cause I never ran them personally.---RICHIE,--Thanks Guys

I've heard good and bad things about them, but I've been using them for years without any complaints. I can't really speak about how many miles there good for though, but hey some of the guys ran them on the last cannonball so they must not be to bad.

My rear tire went about 7000 miles, front tire is still good.
They make both the Firestone and Goodyear tread paterns.

Much less traction and grip than a more modern tire. I used the Cokers for 15 years, went to a set of Duro HF302B last year; I would never go back except for a show bike.

I always used Cokers on my old bikes, They just look so good. but after going to modern tires on my 75 FLH I don`t think I would go back. I had some problems with the Firestones being round,at slow speed you could feel the front end up down up down.....

One thing to concider is ridgid or swingarm.. modern tires such as Dunlop and others have a much stiffer sidewall .. Ocorse your preference is the final decider but on a ridgid the cokers will give the best ride . as for milage they compare to speedgrips of the past. Ed
