Default Goodyear Eagles needed

Looking for a full set of 245-60-15 Goodyear Eagles to replace the TA's I have on the car now. I have not been able to find this size from local tire dealers.

Thanks,

I think the 255's are the only ones you can still get.

There were only a handful of brands with tires in that size when I tried to replace my Eagles this past Fall: BFG, Kelly(?), M/T and some sticky vintage race-car tires from Avon at double the price. I wound up with a set of Tiger Paws that had gone out of production but that the dealer could still get four of for me.

Hi 427sixpac. My car is a 74. Are the Eagles 245-60-15? How much do you want for the full set? I wonder how much it would cost to get them out here to Cali?

You won't find that size with Goodyear Eagles. I have the 235s on my car and all is well. Going from 245 to 235 is only a difference of 10mm or 0.4" in width.

I had some older Goodyears on my 81, last spring i was driving and noticed a thump, then a wobble. Ran real slow back home 45 miles. The tire had a slipped cord and a large bump. The tread had less than 20K miles. I replaced with Firestones, not really the best choice in my opinion, but are smooth and work nice. Al
