tires for my 67

[Richard L.]

The tires currently on my 67 BB roadster are 12 years old. The usual applies, less than a couple of thousand miles, so 90% of the tread is left, BUT I'm wary of driving on them for any distance or at high speed. Any recommendation as to vendor or size (205x75/15 on now)--I'd sure like to get redlines that can be driven with confidence and not just for shows.
thanks in advance.

If you want redline radials in the proper size (205/R75X15), Diamondback is about the only place, pricy but I have had them for 3 years on my '67 and they are great.

Re: tires for my 67

Is there a replacement tire still available in 205-75-15 with a whitewall ?...last I heard Uniroyal Tiger paw was the only one. The Diamondbacks and Cokers are pricey

John,

Hankooks are available in a whitewall and are various prices but typically under $95. I just put some Uniroyals on my 67.
