DREAM TIRES

Post by wayne » Sat Feb 25, 2006 9:35 pm

I JUST GOT THE BIKE OF MY DREAMS. 1965 CA77 WITH 1500 ORIGINAL MILES AND FULL DOCUMENTATION. THE WHITE WALL TIRES ARE NOT TO SAFE LOOKING. WHERE CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT SET AND WHAT IS A GOOD BRAND?[/b]

Used to be Coker tires had white wall of the right size but I think they discontinued them. Not sure. I'd imagine a search for Coker tires will get their web site. Good luck on your search and make sure to keep us updated if you find some. I would consider getting another set as I've had mine for 25 years now. They are getting a little dry.

Indeed, Coker Tire does have the correct tires for the Dream. I just order a set last week. I haven't seen them yet but they should be here this week. They are 3.25x16 with a 1.5 inch white wall. The tires are 4 ply.

The only white walls I could find were from Coker (and they are the wider w/w like on the early Dreams, the thin w/w seem to be impossible to find). I ordered 2 tires and only one had a decent w/w. I returned the other one twice before I got one that was acceptable. When ordering Coker tires with w/w ask the vendor to hand inspect the w/w for appearence - there is nothing more disappointing in waiting for the tires to arrive and either one or both look so bad you don't want to put them on your bike.

If anyone has an alternate source for 325 x 16 w/w tires please let me know.
