Firestone Wide Oval Radial - The ULTIMATE Muscle Car Tire
New Larger Sizes Available for Pre-Order Now
Coker Tire wants muscle car enthusiasts to have the correct tires for their car. The company has served the muscle car market for decades by providing authentic bias ply tires, and specialty radial tires, as well as high quality steel wheels. Coker Tire brings the classic look of a bias ply tire into the modern performance era by creating a Firestone Wide Oval Radial tire. This tire offers a combination of vintage looks with the smooth ride of a modern radial tire. It's truly the best of both worlds!
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the new Firestone tire bridges the gap between the authentic appearance of a bias ply tire and comfort, safety and tread wear of a modern radial tire.
The revolutionary new tire shares many design features with its bias ply predecessor, and Coker Tire will continue to produce the original-style bias ply Firestone Wide Oval tires in addition to its new design.
Firestone Wide Oval tires debuted in 1967 and they were the tire of choice for many car manufacturers, from the inception of the tire design to the phasing out of bias ply tires on American automobiles in the 1970’s.
Coker Tire began reproducing the popular Firestone Wide Oval bias ply tires many years ago, but the new Firestone Wide Oval Radial is yet another game changer for the Chattanooga, Tennessee-based company. Firestone Wide Oval Radial tires are available in 10 sizes to fit 14- and 15-inch wheels. The 10 sizes include FR70-14, GR70-14, FR70-15, GR70-15 and a variety of low profile tires for modified muscle cars. These new sizes include ER60-15, FR60-15, GR60-15, HR60-15, LR60-15 and NR50-15, which were popular aftermarket sizes in the 1970's. So if you're building a bone stock muscle car, or a rowdy Street Machine, the Firestone Wide Oval Radial has a fitment for you. All 10 sizes are available in raised white lettering or a 3/8-inch redline.
Stock
Our 70 Series Firestone Wide Oval Radial tires are perfect for stock restored muscle cars. This gives you the factory look, but with a smooth radial ride. Many muscle cars came from the factory with 14-inch wheels, so we produce FR70-14 and GR70-14, as well as 15-inch equivalents if you upgraded to disc brakes or prefer the look of a larger wheel.
Mild
The ER60-15, FR60-15 and GR60-15 sizes are great for cars like the AAR 'Cuda, which came with staggered 60 series tires from the factory. Other early '70s high performance packages, like the Camaro Z/28 and Mustang Mach 1 came with 60-series tires. These sizes also work well on a Day 2 muscle car build or on the front of a street machine.
Wild
Now for the big boys! These sizes are HR60-15, LR60-15 and NR50-15...you might remember those sizes from back in the day, but if you're not familiiar, they can be compared to a 255/60R15, 275/60R15 and 295/50R15. These are the perfect rear tires for a wild Day 2 build or a '70s Street Machine. Don't forget you can also get these monsters with a 3/8-inch redline!
