I have the Coker Firestone Wide Oval red line radials. Much better than the Coker Firestone Wide Oval white line bias-ply tires they replaced. I bought the car with the bias-ply white lines and I understand why the owner put them on the car. He was interested in concours shows and the car was shown a lot and the car's order form had on it that the original tires were the white lines. However, I will drive it more than show and the tires were 10+ years old so since Coker did not make a white line radial I got the red lines, which look great on a black car. Radials in general drive, handle, ride better than bias-ply. Maybe safer too, but I don't know. i just use the car wash soap. Meguiars, or Simple Green if I see that they are dirty.
