We have the BF Goodrich Silvertown redline radials(Universal Vintage Tires) on Karen's 69 SS Camaro...they look great and handle fine...we also have the Diamond Back's on the 68 BB Nova...also a quality product...only cosmetic difference I can see is on the Diamond back's the redline is raised above the surface of the tire...on the BFG's it is recessed...

I like the BFG Silvertowns, but I read a long thread on www.performanceyears.com and all of the Pontiac guys on there swore by the Diamondbacks. One complaint they had about the SIlvertowns was that the stripe on the BFG's was more maroon than bright red. I've mostly seen the Silvertowns on non-red cars, so I didn't have an issue.

I still think 215/65/15 is the perfect size for early Z's, and I think they look better on 15x6's than they do on 7's.
