Mine were bought in 1987 and are blackwalls. It seems that I remember
Uniroyal making some redline tires in the late 60s and early 70s.
The original tires on my car were Goodyear G800 size 185-15 that were a
redline tire. I replaced them with some 185-15 Gates tires that were a
whiteline tire. I bought a red tire paint stick from Pep Boys and turned
these into redlines. They used to sell these sticks to touch up raised
letter tires. I think that someone on the list mentioned that a tire
dealer near them could put redlines on tires or make a redline replica. I
used to have a tire groover that we used to groove the tread on some high
floatation tires we used on our dune buggy. It was like a "U" shaped hot
iron if I remember correctly. Anyway, something like that could be used to
put a groove in the sidewall, then all you would have to do is color the
groove red. A few years ago, I think that a tire dealer in Chattanooga
advertised non-Michelin redline tires in British Car magazine. They
specialized in antique tires. I believe the dealer's name was Coker.
