Goodyear Eagle GT II Discontinued

Should I wait? Any release dates?

 

 

Not all sizes (like 295/50-15s), but if you're runnin' 255/60-15s, they have 'em, and for only $80.  My e-brake bracket put a nasty groove in one and I have to replace it.

 

Years ago I had them on a 68 Coronet 383 and when wet they were slippery, thought they were a little hard.

Now don't go testing them out for me, just try em carefully if you ever have your baby out in those conditions.

I sort of like the look of original condition, tire rack is $98ea. and I think I might e-bay my oem's

 

 

After doing a little more research it seems this tire will replace the "HR" line as an all-season performance tire.  I don't know if it will be offered with raised white letters but it's supposed to be made available in sizes from 15-22".

I think they stink on wet roads personally.

  A few years back I put a brand new set of GT II's on my vette. I almost piled the car up exiting a rain soaked off ramp, and I was driving like an old lady at the time. I could never get any type of good traction on wet/damp roads with them. Needless to say, I replaced them shortly after with a set of BFG's. Never had a problem since they were put on in '03. Next year it will be due for another set of BFG's. They are getting down to the wear bars now, so I think I will send them off in a nice smoky blaze of glory this fall.

I noticed you mentioned the 235/60/15 tire size.

No criticism intended here but the usual 15" sizes intended for the later C3s like ours are;

225/70/15   &   255/60/15

Just an FYI if needed.
