Default Still Available?

I wasn't aware Goodyear offered Eagle GTII with raised white letters
in that size. Are these still available new? If so..I would like a set
for my 69 coupe. Anyone have an information on this?
Thanks
Jeff

I have several sets which have almost full tread. Unfortunately, they are over ten years old.

They haven't been made in years, so any tires you find new are probably 5+ years old

Default Listen up Goodyear

It looks like Goodyear is missing a bet..not cranking out some new Goodyear white letter tires..for the older cars. I know BF Goodrich does it with the T/A Radial. Of course if Goodyear did do that..they would cost as much as the Goodyear's I recently put on my 06 coupe

I have a set of four Goodyear Eagle GT's you can have for free, good tread but 33 years old, no cracks but the rubber is hard as wood, excellent for a trailer queen that is all original. Oh, the only catch is you pay postage..........from Australia. (sorry).

I bought a new set this spring. I contacted Goodyear direct and they found some in a warehouse in Allentown Pa. They were sent to a local dealer. The date code showed the tires were 6 months old. Give them a try.

The 1971 Corvette would have originally used Goodyear Wide Tread F70-15's or Firestone Wide Ovals. They were a nylon cord tire. The word "Eagle" was not used on a 1971 Corvette tire.

Reproductions are available here, http://www.kelseytire.com/pages/preformancetires.html

I have an original F70-15 at home I can measure this weekend.
