Non-Skid White Firestone Tire Needed

Post by shiler » Fri Oct 11, 2024 8:53 am

Hello. I am in need on one 30x3 (24") all white Firestone Non-Skid tire for my '12 Touring car. Would prefer new. I have one new front tire and both rears (23") so far but no more fronts coming until February I am told.
I am in Northcentral Ohio.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

By any chance did you try Coker? I will admit they're my last "go-to" source as they think their tires are God's gift to creation price-wise, but sometimes we get to the point where price isn't an object anymore! Last I knew they advertised them but didn't say "out of stock". Also try Universal Vintage Tire out of Chatanooga TN. Here's their website link... https://www.universaltire.com/

Interesstingly, we're only about 25 miles apart! Like an easy hour or less drive (with the usual stops) drive. Have to get together sometime! PM/email me and we'll get together to tour maybe.

I made my three tire purchase from Coker’s. They were running a killer sale so that’s why I made the purchase but they were short one 30x3. Universal is owned by the same holding company as Coker and so they had no stock either.
Yes, we should get together in the coming year. My tires were getting so bad I hesitated to drive much. Be better with the new skins on!

Universal Vintage Tire was founded in Central, PA. Just a few miles away from Hershey. Up until sometime between 2020 and 2021 they still operated their warehouse in Central PA. I bought my Universal T drivers there in person. Since then, the warehouse has closed down and all operations moved to Chattooga. As mentioned above, they are owned by the same holding company as Coker.
