You solution is simple. Source some 205/70-15 tires from your favorite supp=
lier (mine has always been Discount Tire)
and then take them to a shop specializing in detailing. Find one that knows=
how to cut and dye your tires resulting in a red striped wall. I've seen i=
t done many times and the results usually are outstanding.

I took them back twice to Discount to get them balanced, but the wobble pe=
rsisted. Finally, I took them to an old guy (well, older than me) in Detro=
it who boasted he had balanced wire wheels for 40 years. He told me the ti=
