Default looking for tires

I am in the process of looking for tires for my 68.

I am leaning towards BF Goodrich Redlines with the original PO1 wheel covers.

Anybody have experience with these tires, good or bad?

How do they look on the car.

Can i get some pics with this and other wheel and tire combos? Thanks

Are those tires bias ply or radials? If you want to look at them...buy the bias ply. If you want to drive on them...buy radials.

Also give a look at Diamondback Tires...they have Cooper Cobras in redline. I have a set on one car and they're excellent. I'm not knocking the BFG's...just giving another choice to consider.
