I was looking at buying some redline tires for the Vet. Anyone have any info on them?

I've bought redlines from both Coker Tire and Diamondback. Both are very good...after experience with both I have to say I prefer Diamondback Tires. That's because Coker tires are reproductions and Diamondback uses new, current production tires with the latest ratings, and vulcanizes a new sidewall cap with the redlines on them.
The Coker tires I had said Coker on them...the Diamondbacks I have now are Cooper Cobra's of current production. They will use most any brand you like and make it a redline.
The downside to either Coker or Diamondback is cost...expect to pay at least double the cost of the standard tires the size you're looking for.
