Default Red line tires
I have a 1970 convertible in Silver that I would like red line tires for. Does anyone make a decent red line in 255 x 60 x 15?

thanks

your only option for custom size redlines is going to be diamond back tires I believe.

i had a silver 68 with redlines, awesome looking combo i got compliments all the time.

That's true, as none of the tire manufacturers offered a red line, in a 60 series tire.

I run Redlines and P02's on my '70 Cortez Silver and really like the setup.

Default red lines
thanks for all the input guys. the red line stickers look nice but I wonder if the long term adhesion would be an issue. Will definitely check out the sources mentioned.

The adhesive works like rubber cement but it dries into a more solid form

I will let you know my experience but the company has been doing all sorts of custom tire lettering for years. My first experience was some large good year eagle logos on tires and the owner said they were on there for years
