Red Line tires

[Dan White]

Did any of the Studebakers in '63/'64 come with factory redline tires option or std? Just wondering since they did have Halibrand wheels available.

Not sure, but I DO know of a R4 Avanti clone with halibrands and red line tires.

Red lines were never a option on a Studebaker. Not sure if red lines were even available until the late 60's.

At the Monroe, WA swap meet today, I saw a set of 4 Michelin 185/15 red lines...nearly new looking and not weather checked. $150. Almost bought them just "because". Great look!

But, you gotta admit. They DO look cool!

Royal Redline tires were standard on the '64 GTO so they were around in 1964. Not sure about 1963 however I think redlines would look cool on my 63 2dr Lark Sedan if I paint her black and use doggie-dish hubcaps. Sinister!

I have tried to invision what they would look like on the '54. Had a red '63 Ch**y that I put them on, really liked the look on that car. I [u]THINK</u> I would like them on my car, but am having difficulty seeing it in my mind's eye. Oh, well... I think it will be some time before I have to worry about new tires, so it's not really an issue right now.
