I am  looking to purchase 72 spoke Dayton Chromes with tires.  I've been  
following the list and Hendricks seems to be best..however in checking Coker  
gave me a cheaper quote with a better tire. Has anyone dealt with Coker.   
Hendricks with Kumo's and Coker with XZX.

Think twice about buying tires and wheels separately--do you have a place  
that can mount the tires and is experienced with wire wheels?  Alan Hendrix  
does a wonderful job mounting, truing and balancing tires, and there's no one  
nicer and who does more for our marque than him.  Sometimes there's more to  it 
than just the best price. 
 
BTW I have been running Michelin XZX's on both my Healeys for  several years, 
primarily because of their profile--they're okay but nothing  wonderful when 
it comes to dealing with understeer.  I don't know  anything about the Kumo's 
but I believe Alan is still recommending the  Vredestein's and everyone I know 
who has them says that they are great.
