They produce a lot of the old muscle car era Goodyear's ...that Goodyear stopped producing years ago. The only complaint I've heard about them is they are not as inexpensive as Coopers or BFG's! Then again they probably sell a fraction of the number that Cooper or BFG sells in that size. Volume certainly lowers the price.
By the way, these Goodyear's also sold for about twice the price of Coopers and BFG's back in the late 70's and early 80's when Goodyear sold them. I had them on three of my cars at one point including a '77 Corvette and had absolutely nothing to complain about. That is until Goodyear abandoned that market.
Good luck... GUSTO

i'd prefer the eagle GTs over the TAs but just i bite the bullet and ordered TA to replace my nearly 30 yr old eagle GTs (that still look new btw)
i have a tirerack wholesale account and it was cheaper to get them off ebay. plus free shipping and no tax.
i didnt see that was just for 1 tire. damn.

Remember the option for those Goodyear Eagle GTs was priced on the window sticker in '81 at $491.52, they have always been expensive, premium tires.
