Where redline tyres an option for 70 Barracudas?  Opinions on Diamond Back redline tyres?  Are BFG Radial T/As and redlines made in Mexico?  Thanks..

I think BFG is owned by a Japanese tir company, Bridgestone maybe?

BFG is French Owned [1 of many reasons I will not buy them ]
Firestones & bridgestones are the same co
 Not sure on redlines , my hunch is no redlines were not available still in 70

I could be way off..... but I decoded my 70 and it lists "E60 x 15 Red Sidewall (Polyglas GT)" for the tires.  Is that a redline?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Thanks for that CODY, I was hoping that there would be a precedent for redlines as they look great with Magnums and will work well with limelight.

1969 was the last year Chrysler used redline tires, they were 70 series.  In 1970 all 60 series tires were raised white letters.

Then can you tell me what the "U82" (In the T-U-W Tires box) on my 1970 broadcast sheet is?

Four E60x15 raised white letter tires.  Space saver spare is a required option.
