I bought this T5 69 Charger last week. It’s definitely in driver type condition. Looks like one cheap repaint years ago.

Best news is no obvious rust or collision damage.

I spent the weekend going over it in detail. Overall I would call it a survivor.

The tires are dated 1997 so they need replaced.

I was considering one of these tires from Coker (They are OMG $$$$)

Any opinions regarding what would look best?

Wow, I bought a set of those Polyglas radials for my 70 Challenger convertible in spring of 2020 and off the top my head I think I paid around $1300 for the set from Rusty Small who has or at least had the best prices on Kelsey repro GoodYear tires.
inflation…
I like them a lot even though the tread is different than originally and the incorrect sidewall tread transition. But I like to drive the car and bias ply is a pain driving on area rutted roadways, so driveability was a ok trade off for not looking perfect.
I don‘t think polyglas was ever original equipment in 1969 on Mopars, and Firestone was not ever OE on muscle Mopars then, so that leaves the redlines as the choice.
 
I was thinking those redlines looked the best as well. Thanks for the input!
 
I bought my redline radials from Diamondback

No complaints
 
Crazy....the high performance 18" tires on my car are cheaper than those.

I like these Cooper tires. Put them on this spring. Reasonable price , deep treads good handling.
