I don't know much specifically about Amphis but I do have experience with vintage replacement tires. This past 18 months, I replaced 11 tires on cars and bikes including a '56 Corvette, Nash Met, A '63 FLHF and a couple of vintage scooters. One year it is tires and the next it is batteries eating me out of house and home for my vintage collection. As for Coker, I can't quite place my finger on it but they seem to have changed in recent years. I've had this hobby since the late 70's. The Vette set and one 8" scooter tire seemed a little out of round. For the Met and Vette, the white side walls seem less able to keep clean and less resistant to grime. Using the same cleaners, neither new set achieve the look I used to get with the same level of effort. It is like they finish them differently? I don't know why or how that would be. Could it be that their existing stock is aging and they haven't done replacement runs for years in certain sizes? I'll eventually need new tires for the Amphi (right now I have bigger fish to fry in unraveling this mess I bought) and I'm leaning towards radials from another supplier. For some of my collection, Coker is my only source (all poly) but for other vehicles that don't have such a strict restoration standard (apparently like Amphis), I'll be seeking other sources.
