I wonder what the blemishes are? I wonder how they can be on both sizes? I wonder how many there are to make it worthwhile to promote their sale? Sounds like a quality control problem to me. Who'd have thunk it?

Just received a set of rear no-treads that a customer just bought. These were packed in unopened black wrappers when I received them. Both have dry rot, and one is decomposed to the point where pieces are falling off the white rubber ID. Coker knows these products and knows better than to pedal junk like this. Not my job to do your quality control Coker.

Or they turn chocolate brown in four months and they will instead of replacing give you a 10% discount on your next order. Ask me how I know.

Picked up a set of smoothie “blems” from Coker at Hershey, fine condition, mounted up just right, pliable and finish is good for my use on current replica project.

Can’t find what is blemish, perhaps the mottled gray colors poorly uniform and maybe the tire will age brown but don’t think so, they are great for my use on an ‘aged’ T am building. Happy with purchase, sure didn’t want new black wall treaded tires for this use for replicating a T that was used in nearby local town in the early years.
