Coker also sells their own "modern" radial redlines in expanded size
range. A company called Diamond Back Classics sells Dunlop tires for
TR6's with redlines added....they are especially nice but the cost is
almost double the cost of the same Dunlop w/o redlines.

My wife and I had this argument. I wanted performance; she wanted the
"look". I bought a set of Pirelli
P4000's in a 205/70VR15 and had redlines added by British Wire Wheel.
The car drives and rides MUCH
better and the steering is so much easier we thought something broke in
the column. And I get weird looks
at shows ("I didn't know that Pirelli MADE a redline!")
