Reproduction Red Line Tires

[Gary C.]

Is one brand of repro red line bias ply tires "more correct" than others?

For 1968-72 Corvettes, the Goodyear Speedway Wide Tread is the most correct reproduction available. It can be had in all sidewall configurations, including red-line.

For 1967 Corvettes, the only year other than 68-72 to use red-line tires, I think that the Kelsey Goodyear Power Cushion reproduction is the best. However, for the 67 tires, the Firestone and U.S. Royal reproductions available from Coker are nearly as good.

For 1967 another correct Redline reproduction is a 775 X 15 B F Goodrich Silvertown.

BFG's are correct for blackwalls or whitewalls, but not for redlines; the correct OEM redline manufacturers are Firestone Super Sports, Uniroyal High Performance, or Goodyear Power Cushion.
