Anyone purchase the redline radials that look like the bias ply tires? I'm thinking of these for my car. What bothers me somewhat is the brand name of the tire "Firestone" is flipped compared to the Bridgestone radials, where you can read the name at the top of the tire. In the bias ply radial, you can read the Firestone at the bottom of the tire? Was this how they came from factory when the original bias ply tires were regular production?

Maybe ask Coker. My Coker bias Firestone Wide Oval Redlines also have the Firestone name facing out so that it is "flipped" from other tires as you describe. They describe the manufacture as "made in the original molds in the USA with modern materials and technology", implying that they are correct. I notice on the Coker site that other Firestone repros do not flip the lettering.
