Default Need pictures of tire sidewall and tread for '88 Anniversary

The NCRS Technical Information Manual and Judging Guide states that the optional tires were P275/40ZR-17 Eagle ZR40 Goodyears. But since it's the old format manual there aren't any pictures. My local Goodyear dealer doesn't remember them and doesn't have any resource for me to go to. I'd like to buy new tires even though the current Goodyear Eagle F1 GS P275/40ZR17 tires look good because they are very old.

So I need to buy the closest possible current match to the originals to minimize my deduction points. Anyone got a couple of photos they could share?

Tried to see if I could have gotten to my original tires for my 35th. They're in my attic and in a totally tough spot that's tough to get to and blocked.

I am not sure if this will help you. I took the pics at Bloomington Gold.
