TAKE BIG-N-LITTLE TO THE EXTREME WITH NEW HOOSIER RADIALS


Coker Tire Offers A Full Line of Hoosier Radial Tires for Hot Rods and Street Machines


Chattanooga, TN – Folks have been putting big-n-little tire and wheel combinations on their hot rods for quite some time, and that trend escalated during the ‘70s, when Pro Street was a hot topic. The issue with driving a Pro Street car on a regular basis is the tire’s construction. Most super wide tires feature a bias ply construction and a tread pattern that doesn’t lend itself well to wet-road driving. However, this new line of Hoosier tires features a radial construction and a directional tread pattern that helps drivability, no matter the driving conditions.





These Hoosier Pro Street Radials are available in four sizes for the front and 14 sizes for the rear, so there are lots of ways to mix and match the sizes to create your desired look. The front-runners are designed for six-inch wide wheels, while the rear tire sizes fit 8- to 17-inch wide wheels, depending on the tire size. The rear tires are perfect for a tubbed hot rod or street machine. Among the product line, the overall diameter for rear tires ranges from 27 inches to 32 inches, while tread widths range from 8 inches to a whopping 16.8 inches. Each tire, no matter the size, features an H speed rating, which indicates a safe sustained speed of 112mph.


If you’re in the market for extreme big-n-little tires, this new line of Hoosier radials from Coker Tire is the perfect choice, as it offers better tread wear characteristics, compared to most Pro Street tires. They offer improved drivability over comparable sizes for Pro Street cars, and the radial construction makes for a better handling tire, all around. If you’re interested in pricing or availability of the Hoosier product lineup, contact Coker Tire Company toll free at 1-800-251-6336 or check out the website at www.cokertire.com. If you’re in the area, stop by the Coker Tire headquarters, located at 1317 Chestnut Street in historic downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee.
