Just to add on, both Cooper and Mickey Thompson offer 15" tires in "muscle car" sizes, in raised white letter. The other side is smooth, I have seen these at Pep Boys locally.

Diamond Backs...
We have a set of Diamond Back redlines on our 68 big block Nova...the base tire is a Firestone Indy 500 model with the redline added. They have been excellent...can't remember the price, but they weren't cheap.

The Cooper Cobras seem to be the most popular in my area at car shows and on daily drivers. Very similar to the BFG and much more affordable. I put a set on my 81 C10 and really like them.

I have two sets of Diamondback redlines on my cars...the '68 Z has a redline based on some Yokohama tire, and the GTO has the redline BFG T/A. They are both quite good as you would expect from a quality radial.

The only downside is they don't make them in a 225/60/15 so I need something else for the fronts, or I'm just going to go to 235s. Compared to the 21 year old Kelly Chargers, it was a whole different car. Hooks much better (which is a given- It's a stock 5.0), rides smoother (doesn't feel like it's trying to "shimmy" over bumps), and the biggest one is that I can drive the car in the rain.
