Chattanooga, Tenn. (August 2006) – While Coker Tire markets hundreds of authentic period and specialty tires for everything from Model As to muscle cars, it hasn’t neglected the collectors of popular two-wheel transport. Today, to address collectors’ requests, Coker introduces its lineup of Firestone ANS (All Non Skid) military motorcycle tires.
Now owners of antique American-made motorcycles can fit authentic rubber with period correct tread design to their classic bikes. Like its collector car and truck tires, Coker’s Firestone ANS military motorcycle tires are manufactured in a fully integrated, modern US production facility. The Firestone ANS tires are created from new molds designed using the original mold drawings, the most advanced tire manufacturing techniques and materials to deliver a safer alternative to original rubber, without sacrificing that desired vintage look..
“When we find a new niche, we fill it,” says Corky Coker, President of Coker Tire Company. “Our goal is to offer collectors the most comprehensive selection of authentic vintage-looking motorcycle tires available anywhere. Specialty applications, like our new Firestone ANS military motorcycle tires, are just one of the wide variety of motorcycle tires we have developed for hobbyists and riders of vintage bikes.”
The Firestone ANS tires are available in four original sizes, including the popular 500-16 size, as well as 400-18, 450-18 and 400-19 sizes to accommodate almost any desired fitment.
In addition to its Firestone ANS military motorcycle tires, Coker Tire also stocks an extensive offering of classic motorcycle tires, all available for immediate delivery, starting at $102 each. The Firestone ANS military motorcycle tires, as well as hundreds of other classic and collector tires, wheels, special wheel and tire packages, vintage rims, tire and auto accessories and collectibles can be ordered online through the company’s easy-to-use web store at www.coker.com.
