Good luck finding them, I bought 4 over a year ago and I think they said they had only 2 left at that time. When I called the factory # they gave me the guy who answered said they had ONE left and there were no plans at that time to make another run of them. (I hope that has changed since then)

When I looked on cokers web site they don't sell them. These are the square corner tires.

The Coker tires are the shallow NDT military tires with the rounded tread corners that came stock on mules. The Speciality Tires are the same size but they have MUCH DEEPER NDT and squared corners like Jeep tires have. You have to be careful because the Speciality tires can come in both 4 and 10 ply ratings (that are used on forklifts and heavy duty applications) those tires are WAY on the stiff side.

On the subject of mule tires, is there a reason that mule tires come with VERY SHALLOW NDT tires? I understand the rounded corners because mules do not have differentials to allow tire slippage, but how come they arrive new with it seems half of normal tread thickness.

The shallow tread aids in the slippage to protect the differential.
