My car didn't originally come with redlines, but with a black exterior and red interior, I think they'll work out well.

Biggest I can go in front is 215/65/15. Biggest out back is 235/60/15. I usually like to have same size all around, but I'm pushing 500 hp, so I'll take all the help I can get.

Will mount on 15 x 7 wheels.

Looks like Coker has lots of options, but nothing that looks like a performance radial with a redline sidewall.

Diamonback Tire has BFG Radial T/A's with redlines in these sizes.

Anyone else have anything better? At one point, I think Diamondback was using a Firestone performance tire, but don't think they have these anymore.

Anyone have any recommendations or thoughts?

Thanks!

IIRC Mickey Thompson offers/offered some performance Redline radials a few years ago, BF Goodrich has single and dual red line radial tires currently available up to 275/60/15

Performance and 15" aren't compatible terms these days. The best 15" tires out there are MT SR and Maxxis Marauder, both H speed rated. The SR does not have a treadwear rating and MT is claiming 15k mileage so they are soft. Maxxis is claiming 50k mileage so they are a bit hard. Cooper Cobra and MT ST are twins with S ratings. Good cruisers, but hard compounds. Hankook Ventus H101 doesn't look bad, but it is also an S rated tire, so also a bit hard. Since you have smaller sizes, you might be able to use a Pirelli P4. T rated with 50k mileage, so not exactly grippy, but I've heard good reviews on them. None of these come with redlines.

However, you might talk to Diamond Back and see if they could redline any of the above selections for you, but it may be an expensive proposition. However, I do recall seeing some one posting a link on some company that can make apply at home white letters, so maybe they can do red, blue, gold lines as well.

Appreciate all the feedback, fellas. Looks like I'm going with some BFG Radial T/A redlines from Diamondback.

Aren't there people that can add redlines to existing non redline tires?

If so, just add a redline to a drag radial.

Yes there are folks that can groove a tire and add any desired color sidewall stripe...but like everything in the "modern automotive" world it's an old art, and finding those individuals still performing that trade is slim

M/T used to offer the Indy Profiles in stock sized redlines but haven't for some time as far as I know. I have a set of F70-14s sitting in nice shape.

I bought 275/60/15 Nitto drag radials with redline from Diamondback for the Coronet. The 235 Coker Firestone redlines that I originally installed were flat out dangerous. The Nittos have been on the rear for two years and work well on the street.
