Don't forget about Universal Tire or Lester Tire as well. I received a decent price from Universal when I bought mine.

I checked both out and Coker seems to have the best buy. Thanks to both for the info.

Also check Summit, I've read that they sell Cokers at cheaper prices and shipping, but I haven't verified that personally. Worth checking them all before you pull the trigger.

THey all seem to be really close, one the tire is cheaper and there tubes are $15 more. My problem is two tires are as much as what I paid for the doodlebug. At least the last one, it has taken me first an A that had a worn out rearend, then I got the AA that I'm using now. This has been a real adventure, it rolled but the engine was shot. The AA was a 30, 31 my A was a 28, 29. Put the engine from it into the AA and it is a 1930, the cowlwas shot on the AA so it now has the 28 29 cowl and radiator. It runs good and rolls but need a couple of tires. If I could figure out how to get my picture I could show my journey.

I have not bought any yet, still shopping. The second bug came with some home made rims that were 22.5 with AA centers welded in them and my local tire shop had a couple 245 75 x 22.5 used that I got for $40 a piece that look good on the back, so need two smaller for the front. I'll check out your suggestion.
