Default REDLINE Radials

I have a 69 Big Block with the Coker Bias ply reproduction tires they look great but not fun to drive. I have been looking for Redline Radials and Coker seems to be the only one selling Redline radials. Does anyone know of any other manufactures. The Coker Redlines seem expensive for what you are getting? Any suggestions? Thanks

The reason the Cokers are expensive is because they're probably a limited production run which raises the price of each unit. Not many people want or need redline tires today so you're looking for an exclusive product. If they were running off redlines like they do your average radial the sheer numbers would bring the price down. Welcome to corvette ownership.

I have a cheap brand that I am removing from mine. I can get you the brand name if you would like.

I think some of the vendors sell them too. Look at corvette america, maybe ecklers. Expect to pay ~150 per tire though.
