Default Coker tires

I've got a 57 pan chopper I'm restoring and wanted to know if anyone knew about coker replica tires? Are they made in America, I hope?

All I know is that they are WAY too expensive for what they are but if you gotta have the vintage look they are the only game in town.

Yeah I know they aren't cheap, but that is the look I want. Do you know if they are still made in America? I'm trying to keep the foreign sh*t to a minimal.

I just ordered a 500-16 classic blackwall. Real nice people to deal with at coker. I'll let y'all know how they work out. Thanks for the input.

Well, my tire came and I got it mounted and it looks great! It really gives the bike a more authentic look. Only thing is the tire is about 1" taller than the tire I had on there. Now I am modifying the sissy bar and fender height. Oh well, it's all good.
