1986 Dk. Red Met. Coupe
Default Goodyear Gatorbacks

255/50/VR16 Goodyear Gatorbacks

Is there anywhere that still has these? I have looked high and lo, I still have the originals(not still on the car). I would really love to have an unused set of these for judging competitions and collector value.

I have seen these occasionally on Ebay. They are no longer made. You could try calling some tire stores for old stock. The problem is that old rubber is just not good to put on the car. Goodyeare does make some alternatives for the Gatorbacks. I am due for tires next year and have been looking.

Good luck.

Like I said in my post, I am looking for a set for originality. I am not concidering driving on these, just for collector value.
