Congrats on the arrival. I have used Coker's tires for quite a while. A good product and good people in my opinion. Mount em up and post some pics.

Those are going to look great on your car. Coker is tops as far as nice people, with great service during and after the sale.
I had the occasion to actually talk with Corky Coker on the phone one day, and he sent me some emails. Coker Tire was being slammed on another forum (run by, and membershipped by idiots of the first degree) So I called Corky to tell him not everybody was against them, just that one forum. He was the nicest, most humble guy I have ever spoken to, and it was as if we had been friends forever. He sent me emails later, thanking me, and I felt good that he knew not everybody was against them.
I have dealt with them for about 25 years, and bought lots of tires in that time, and every transaction and tire has been first rate. In fact, in the next few weeks I will be ordering the front tires for my T from them.
BTW, did you take their tire protection program? It essentially replaces the tires if anything ever happens to them.

The L78's got wide with 35 psi in them.
How wide are your rims ?

this may be a dumb question but do they make any in this style that have a good sticky compound? sorry but that is just the mustang guy in me..lol.. i love the drag radial.

Not sure how effective the new retro slicks are like the Firestones I am running, or the Radirs, etc. Tripper said they lay down a funny patch (I think it was Tripper) but if you drop the air pressure to the 10-13 pounds we used to race with, maybe they would footprint pretty well.
No question that the new hitech drag radials are really superior though. Cars are turning really low times on them.

Yep, that is the one weak link in the Cobras. Maybe time for you to go 8.8 or 9 inch.

I really wanted some of these tires for my 64, but I'm cheap so I ended up buying some $60ea tires.
I still like the look of WW! About how long do these last on daily drivers? I'll probably fork out the money next time.

i was told if you get 10-12 thousand on a heavy vehicle then your doing pretty good
ive never had bias ply tires before so we will see if this is true
but knowing me the right rear tire always seems to wear out really fast
