Mk5 Saloon door pillar weather seals

Do you know if there are radials available that will fit?

Coker Tires in Chattanoga TN has 6.50R16 radials.

I bought 600R16 radials from them for my XK120 and so far am very happy with them.

Dear Wayne,

We fitted a set of 205/80/16 tyres – used on some Toyota Hilux pick-ups and other commercial pick-up trucks. The improvement in ride and handling is dramatic.

Rob, how are the white walls holding up? There has been a lot of talk on the AACA forum about the white walls on some Coker tires turning yellow/brown. I have a set of Coker 19” WWWs on my 1930 LaSalle and they are fine but they are 8 years old. Might be a problem with newer tires.

They’ve only been on since March and no change since then.


On my old tires I used a product called Westley’s Bleche-Wite about once a year.

That’s what I use on my LaSalle, also once a year. It’s just that more the just a couple fellows have been noticing discoloration in recent years. There was some discussion about a change in materials. Just don’t want to spend $1300 plus shipping and have them go yellow.

This is on offer from our local antique tyre supplier.
