True,

But,the client that wants this type of tire isn't looking for any kind of high end judging.

Just the 'LOOK' at cruise ins and the ride getting them there and back

that's what makes the redline radials so popular today

Walk around at your local cruise in and count the redline radials compared to bias ply tires.
Bias ply tires will be out numbered considerably
