Scored a set of Centerlines the other day. Back in the 80's we used 135s on the fronts. I know Coker makes the 135 now but I had bad luck with some other Coker tires in the past. Any suggestions for more modern tire that will fit on that narrow wheel? I added a pic of my old oval I built in 1983.

You are likely limited on tire brands and sources, but if you don't want to purchase from Coker there are other places. You can do a search for either 135's or 145's.

For example: https://www.piersideparts.net/135tire.html

But Coker could be the source for any of these if they own the molds.

I'm running 185/70s on 3.5 cenerlines on the front of my buggy.
