I think a triple black GTO would be beautiful with red line tires. That being said, I purchased a set of BFG Silvertown radial red lines from Coker Tire. These were for my 68 400 Firebird convertible . IMO, they were lousy tires. Out of round and very difficult to balance. They required an excessive amount of weight and were out of round enough to require being shaved to provide a smooth ride. Based on that experience, I would try Diamondback or some other supplier.

I purchase all that kind of stuff from Diamondback and highly recommend them. Not a huge fan of Coker but he does have some stuff I can't get elsewhere.

The Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T and the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T are the same tire except for a small difference in the tread pattern. Cooper Tires also manufactured tires under several other brand names including Mickey Thompson. However last year Goodyear acquired the Mickey Thompson brand when it finalized its purchase of Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.

I also have had Diamondback's (two sets) and have nothing but positive things to say about them.

No longer running DB's because I went to 17's and have the redline pinstriped on my 17" black steel rims.

Thanks for all the feedback. Convinced to go with DB redlines. Diamondback III or SS? Any feedback on the SS?

Agreed on the look, I have Coker redlines on my triple black 65 GTO with red pinstripe, its a great match. These are the Firestone Wide Oval Radial tires so they look like bias plies.

Love them, great ride.
