<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">When I bought my
TR5 from Charles Runyan’s estate, it came with 15
year-old tires. They had little to no wear, and drove
fine, but I decided I should do the right thing and
replace them if I was to take loved ones out for a drive
in the car.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">Since there was
only one manufacturer to choose from for redline tires,
I bought 4 tires from Coker, through Discount Tire. Not
cheap!!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">I put them on the
car and there was a terrible wobble around 50 mph. I
took them back twice to Discount to get them balanced,
but the wobble persisted. Finally, I took them to an
old guy (well, older than me) in Detroit who boasted he
had balanced wire wheels for 40 years. He told me the
tires were so out of true they could not be balanced. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">I took them back to
Discount Tire and they called Coker. Coker refused to
take them back unless they fell outside certain
specifications. The Discount Tire shop didn’t really
know what Coker was talking about, but went through the
process and sure enough, the tires all fell outside the
specifications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">So the good news
is, Coker will take them back. The bad news is, Coker
has no redline tires and doesn’t know when they will
have more, if ever.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">So my plan is to
put new tires, not redline, on the car and keep the
redlines I have if ever a buyer wants originality or the
car is shown.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
