69 SS El'Camino Redlines

[Mr. T]

Looking for a set of 4 redline tires for my 69 El'Camino SS (L35). Tried Coker and Kelsey without any luck. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Why no luck ???

I just ordered a set of redline BFGs from Coker two weeks ago. They sell BFGs and their own brand red lines.

You looking for G70-14's? I got mine from Coker a few years ago. Firestone Wide Oval redlines. They WERE a total b*tch to get balanced though, and were anything but round in shape...Are they no longer available? Maybe they are retooling them for better quality?

[Mr. T]

Thanks guys. Yes Joe, I am looking for G70-14's, exact duplicates/repos of the originals that came on SS Camino's. I am going to have to go back to Coker and look again, and will keep in mind about the balancing issue.

How about the spare tire/wheel in your Camino Joe. What size were they? Was it an SS wheel or rally?

[camarojoe]

My spare was another SS wheel with redline, same as the 4 on the car.

I wonder if balancing issues were always a problem for bias ply tires? I recently dismounted the tires on my Chevelle and sent the original wheels out to be sandblasted and repainted. My car doesn't have repro tires (Polyglas GT's F-60's and L-60's)and it took alot of time to get each rim/tire balanced properly.
