I believe they have been discontinued recently. there may be a few left out there if you look hard enough.

I recently found a stash of 235/60/15's in the GT 2's, I dont see where your located but my local source has 2 sets left (8) he had 12 but I took four yesterday (5/10/2011) the date codes are 340 (week 34 of 2010) Pricey though @ $140 each!!!!!

that tire is too small. Do yourself a favor go to a Bridgestone/Firestone store and get INDY 500 FIREHAWKS 255/60

It is the right size tire - and also twice the tire of any Cooper cobra or Goodyear Eagle.

I went to Good Year in March they offered Cobras.
Ended up with Firehawk's, 255-60's in the rear and 235-70's in the front, this is my first time with them so we'll see how good they are.

Eagle GT's are no more. I bought 4 a year ago and had to hunt all over for them. One guy had 2, and another dealer had 2. Also had topay a premium price for them. I think I wasted my money and should have just gone with another brand but I like the GT's. Bad part is the tires I took off had 90% tread left but they were 15 years old and I just didn't trust them.

how far are you from South Carolina?

MotorHead

Are they better than Desert Duelers or Ridge Runners ?

Peterbuilt

Who me?

'bout 8 miles.

I believe the OP was asking about the GT 2's, as to where he may find one, a replacement for one wheel as one got damaged so I gave him some, what I believed to be value added feedback. I think one Firehawk or Cooper may look odd with three GY's. But hey, your opinion is just that, your opinion. Im sure somehow you helped the Man.

Mark Hawkins

lol, no. Williams82CE appears to be looking for some tires. I have two Goodyear Eagle GT II's

Williams82CE

Yes cherrybomb, I am looking for a replacement for the one that my father so graciously popped

I have been using BF Goodrich TA's for 10 yrs and never had any issues , lots of them around. Goodyears are discontinued, Ron

They are reproducing them now.

SanDiegoPaul

You are comparing truck tires to car tires

Who is reproducing the Goodyear Eagle GT II's? I am about to buy some Firehawk Indy 500's for my '81 but would love to get some GT II's again.

I'm pretty sure that's the joke......

FYI: Before the year 2000, date codes were 3 digits. A date code of "340" would actually be the 34th week of 1990 or 1980 or 1970, etc. After 2000, the date code is 4 digits. So a date code of 3410 would be the 34th week of 2010. See link below for full details:
