[6pack] Tire Pressures

[TR6UO at aol.com]

Coker owns the redline molds, but they're located at the Michelin plant in  
South Carolina. Michelin makes them for Coker and the tires have to comply 
with  all current regs, including date stamps. Interestingly, the red is 
from the  casing and the outer wrap covers all but the red stripe. If you were  
to scrape the sidewall you'd see progressively more red.
 
Check the date stamps and replace any tires that are too old. You can still 
 buy the redlines, but the technology is from the 70s, so you're getting 
style  over ride. If anyone needs help reading the date codes, you can call 
Michelin or  Coker for help.

Is it  possible ... just possible ... that Coker Redlines are 
manufactured as  "direct copies" of Redlines and still have the 
original date  stamps??  Or is Coker required to date stamp them with 
actual date of  manufacture ...

Just a Thought
