Stephen,
I just spoke with one of the sales folks at Diamond Back this past
Monday.
He told be that the red lines they sold replica red lines with no
manufacturer on the sidewall that are very popular with the TR6 crowd. He
quoted me $112.00 per tire plus shipping. I thought the price was a little
on the high side. I'm glad that my check didn't hit the mail yet after
reading your experience. There was a 6 at the last ABFM here in the Seattle
area that was using Uniroyal tires with nice red stripes. At this point, a
little research may be in order to find the Uniroyal's, rather than mail
order from Diamond Back.

Subject: Redlines
After reading a couple of hundred archived messages on the subject of TR6
tires which were very helpful, I ordered a set of remanufactured redlines
(205/70) from Diamondback tires in South Carolina. After waiting patiently
for over a week for the tires to arrive, I called to see where they were. I
was told that they are no longer remanufacturing this size redline tire.
They offered me a set of new Cooper redlines in the same size for the same
price which was $89/tire plus shipping.
Anybody have any experience with these?
Thanks.
