New Tires
Bought a new to me 89 in January and while checking the tires noticed they were manufactured in 91 so I replaced them with Goodyear Eagle F1 Gs-D3 in 275/40R17 front and rear. The previous owner had put on the same tire. A little pricy but I figured if the first set lasted 25 years a new set will probably last me until I die !!( turning 65 in July )

Congrats. Good job in checking the age of the tires. Yup, those needed to be replaced 
I love my GS-D3's. I think they are much superior to the Michelin Pilot Sports I had before.
