Chattanooga, Tenn. (October 31, 2017) – Coker Tire is proud to announce a new size in its immense Firestone product line.

By the 1970s, tire manufacturers had switched over to radial tire production and this 721 series was one of Firestone’s early efforts in the steel belted radial tire market. It features alpha numeric sizing, which was the predecessor to today’s P-metric sizing. The new size offers period correct branding and sidewall markings with the Firestone 721 series identification, and a three-fourths inch whitewall. The LR78-15 sizing offer OE and optional fitment for many full size American cars, including Buick Estate, Cadillac DeVille, Chrysler New Yorker, Ford LTD and more from 1971 to 1979.
Coker Tire’s new Firestone LR78-15 whitewall offering will be available in early 2018, at a price of $229 each. This product is a specialty item that fills a small void in the huge automotive aftermarket. Items like this are a labor of love for Coker Tire, as the mold development, research, testing and manufacturing is quite an endeavor.
