I've been thinking about getting some redline radials for my '79.
I'd like to get the BFG/TAs in the 255/60R15 size. All I can find are the 225/70R15 size in the redlines.
Anyone know of any websights or dealers who offer a good redline radial in the 255/60R15 size?

Have you thought about Firestone Indy 500 tires? They are not a redline but do look good and have a great reputation. They are starting to phase them out but do come in the the 255 size.

I've heard only good things about the Firestone Indys and I have had no complaints at all with the BFG's.
When I look at my white '79 with the rallye wheels, I just want redlines on there for the look.
I currently have the BFG/TA's 225/70R15.
If I'm gonna take the plunge for the redlines, I'd like the bigger tire size on a decent radial if they're available.

For redlines, about your only sources will be Coker Tires or Diamondback Tires. I think Coker has the BFG in redlines and Diamondback will provide them in most any brand you want. Neither are inexpensive compared to going to your local tire dealer as redlines are a specialty item only these days.
I have a set of redlines from Diamondback on one of my cars...they're Cooper Cobra's and so far they've been excellent. I've had the Coker brand redlines on a different car I owned and thought they were good as well.

Diamondback has your redlines 255/60R15 (27" height) made by Cooper with a Turbo Tech name for @ $184.00.

Diamondback it is (or will be in about a month).
Thanks for the heads up!
Thus far I have spent money on mechanical repairs & upgrades. It'll be nice to get a "look" that I'm after!
Me, too! I wouldn't trade my Indy 500's for the world! ( well, maybe the world ).
