Red Walla (stripe)

I've seen some nice-looking cars with tires that have a red stripe and I like the look. Are these tires any good for street use? Any tips if ever I were to buy them?
Sorry I can't edit the heading, should read Red Wall

Ralph, the color of the stripe has nothing at all to do with the quality of the tire. Read reviews on tire rack, or google a specific tire. Any company can put a red stripe on a tire.

I believe most of the red or white stripped tires available are reproductions from specialty manufacturers for c2-c3 cars.
Most are pretty expensive and are not performance tires.

Thanks. I don't need real high-performance tires, I just drive around town.

Thanks. I'll do a little checking around.
