For future reference Diamond Back could have done the Michelins in a narrow 3/8" white stripe to mimic the original GoodYears. They made my Michelins in the red stripe. They also have other suitable period tire offerings with various sidewall stripe options to mimic those specialty tires of the late 60's and early 70's. For example, they offer the narrow white stripe with an outer narrow red stripe that was used on some years of the T-Birds. They can do the thin dual while stripe like AMC and others used on the 1970 models. They have the thin, wider and thin triple stripe sidewalls used on Cadillacs in the late 60's.
they take regular, current production tires and modify the sidewalls. Their product looks outstanding and is top quality.

I have these same Michelin Defenders on mine. They're the same diameter as the original E70-14. 

What did DB charge to add the red stripe, George? 

Scott, the car tturned out great, but of course after following this thread I knew it would! Congratulations on a job well done!
