Coker Classic Whitewall bias ply wide tires are made in the USA and have been the choice of classic and hot rod owners for over 30 years. Coker Classic Whitewall tires feature authentic sidewall and tread designs in a premium bias ply tire for collectors. The genuine whitewall is constructed into the tire from the very beginning, for a beautiful and durable tire. DOT and ECE (European Union) approved, and backed by our life of the tread warranty. Please note that dimensions listed tread width, section width and overall diameter are non-scientific and based on an inflated tire, mounted on a wheel. Dimensions may vary due to rim width and inflation pressure. Tread patterns and sidewall styles vary, please click on individual tires below to view photos.
This product features a genuine wide whitewall sidewall style. This means that the bright white rubber is added directly to the tire sidewall during initial construction of the carcass, resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality product after vulcanization. Wide whitewall tires were a very popular choice from the 1930's through the end of the 1950's, and were eventually phased out of mainstream production by 1962. Originally, wide whitewall tires featured a bias ply construction, Coker Tire offers these tires in both original style bias ply and modern radial construction.
Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.

Coker Tire was founded in 1958 and many years of our history has been focused on supplying the collector vehicle market with authentic tires. Coker Classic is our house brand, which is a favorite among car restorers and enthusiasts around the world.

Coker Tire Company, established in 1958 by Harold Coker in Chattanooga, Tennessee, began as a tire and service center. Over time, under the leadership of Harold's son, Corky Coker, the company shifted its focus towards the antique tire market, dedicating four decades to developing this niche. This strategic move transformed Coker Tire into a leading provider of vintage-style tires for collector vehicles.
The company specializes in manufacturing and selling vintage-style tires, including brands like Michelin, Firestone, BF Goodrich, and Uniroyal, catering to the needs of automotive enthusiasts seeking authentic period-correct tires. By utilizing original, refurbished molds or creating new molds from original drawings, Coker Tire ensures that their products maintain the classic appearance while incorporating modern materials for improved performance and safety.
