Anyone running Goodyear Eagle GT's?

Need some new shoes on the red car.
Found some good reviews online but thought I'd check here too. Thanks!

seem fine so far

The GY Eagle GT's are actually an all-season tire and are V speed-rated, not Z rated like the OE Gatorbacks. I'd keep looking for a true summer tire as I'm sure the California winters don't include snow where you live!

Z rated is a must

I've only hit 110 .. And it was on the way to a nationals show. But yes typically I drive it slow and baby her.

Z rated tires on these cars are about as useful as the 200 mph Saleen speedometers!

How do I tell what year gatorbacks I have? Can someone post picture of date code?

[WillyB93]

There is a 4 digit code in a rectangular box on the side of the tire.

So those tires ^^ made in 04?

[1993cobra]

yes last 4 digits "xxxx" first 2 are the week as in 52 weeks in a year, last 2 are the year such as 93.
so "0193" would be first week of 1993,

Kinda, but not really. This holds true for tires manufactured since 2000, but not before.



Per Tire Rack:

Tires Manufactured Before 2000

The Tire Identification Number for tires produced prior to 2000 was based on the assumption that tires would not be in service for ten years. While they were required to provide the same information as today’s tires, the week and year the tire was produced was contained in the last three digits. The 2 digits used to identify the week a tire was manufactured immediately preceded a single digit used to identify the year.

Example of a tire manufactured before 2000 with the earlier Tire Identification Number format:

While the previous Tire Identification Number format identified that a tire was built in the 8th year of a decade, there was no universal identifier that confirmed which decade (tires produced in the 1990s may have a small triangle following the Tire Identification Number to identify the decade).
