Anyone know of where to get the best price for Redline tires? They are about double the price of regular tires.  :shruggy:

I bought my radial redlines from DiamondBack Classics for about $155 a tire (255/60/15)  I used them for the size availability & their smooth sidewall.  I hate Cokers sidewalls with all their writing & casing marks... http://www.widewhitewalltires.com/

I bought my bias redline spare tire from Universal Tire a few years ago for $175!   I see they raised them to $200 now....

I agree except the optional Redlines on Darts - 340 Swinger and 340/383/440 Dart GTS used Firestones - A-Body I know...but they were Scat Pack. cars

Maxwell. Is it possible this could only be limited to 1967 model year Darts?

I'm wondering because they could have D70x14 Firestones if the larger Goodyear redlines (E70X14) weren't available until 1968?  :scratchchin:

'69 Darts have the Firestones for sure. Badalson has documented, see them in original magazine road tests and I have the original proper date coded spare in a low mileage 1 owner Swinger 340. I was a little leary at first as well until I went on an info quest. I have also heard of some 68-69 HP B-Bodies with the odd Firestones as well. Probably a supply issue on those ones.

Sorry - did not see the 2nd sentence in your post on the D70's.....I'll check my spare again - brain dead at the moment.  ;)
