Default Goodyear gt+4

Anyone know when they stopped making this style of tire?

I've got a set that were on my 12K mile white79 when I bought it in 05. Took em off mostly because I wanted 255/60s(these are 245)but also because I was unsure of the age.

They have maybe 1500 miles on them(I drove it home 1000 miles when I purchased the Vette with no trouble)and they LOOK perfect. Previous owner never drove it, but at the time told me it had "new" tires. I figured simply "not original". He and his father before him had owned the Vette since 83 but he wasn't very knowlegible of what went on while his father had it.

They're dated 037, third week of "7". I'm hoping 97, but could be 87

I know even 97 is old, but I want to put them on my black79 simply to hit a few cruise nites. They're even still mounted Certainly don't want to drive on the 32 year old GOODYEAR GT RADIALS that are still on it! Will set those aside for shows or judging.

Noticed the size as 245-60HR X 15. Haven't seen the 'H' designation in a while.

Anything over 10 years old should not be driven on, even for a cruise night.
