I got to peer through the windows at British Wire Wheels several
weeks ago on my trip to Calif.  The Avon w/redlines was on display
and looks pretty good.

In the current British Cars magazine, there's an ad for an Avon
distributor in Denver (I think) which claims to have 185-15 "redlines".
Does anyone know if these are the same?  I though British Wires did
their own thing locally...

I *still* need tires.  My "Michelin" redlines are gradually
turning into "Maypop" redlines.

Boy that's certainly a Michelin trademark.  It is impossible to 
gently tour a parking lot without totally out of proportion squeals.
