My Corvette(s):
1978 L82 Pace Car
Default Goodyear "GT Radial" repros

Does anyone know if any manufacturer builds the "Goodyear GT Radial" that came on the 1978 Pace Car?

I can't seem to find anything/anyone regarding these tires back in the late seventies.

I currently have a set on my PC but I don't trust them for hwy speeds even if they appear to look OK.

also if I take them off my wheels they'll probably be no good??!!

any suggestions would help.

Thanks,
Sully

I have a set on my 73...they have 4000 miles on them...they were installed in 1986 though...there is a very comparable tire from Goodyear I'm sure...Good luck.

Do you really drive on them? Pretty risky driving on 20-year-old tires...
