[Staowners] 165 x 16 white wall radials..........from where????

[CotaLymepond at aol.com]

Hello all ... I believe that if you check the actual dimensions  in the 
catalog you will find that the 185/R16 WW tyres that Coker tire offers  measure up 
just about right compared to the original bias ply's. (available in  Michelin, 
Firestone, & Coker Classic) The overall diameter is just about the  same 
while the width of the contact area is wider, which is just what you want  for 
spirited driving conditions.
We put a set on Frank Jenkins Alpine and they look great (granted we  haven't 
road tested it yet!)

Hello all........ I sort of asked this last week, but not  exactly......
 
Does anyone know where I can find 165 x 16" whitewall
radials???  (I check Coker and Tire Rack and they don't
seem to have them)???
 
I seriously considered bias ply, but two things stopped me.
 
1.  I really do want to drive this car a lot............
2.  Since it does not have its original engine/drivetrain (it  has
a Toyota overhead cam 4 cylinder and 5 speed - that I am
already thinking of converting to fuel injection).... it seems to
me that I may, on rare occasion, be able to drive it a bit
briskly and therefore would just generally prefer radials........
 
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
