shelbymotorsports Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Can't find much on the web but according to this ebay seller Goodyear has re-released the Gatorback tire which is great news for anyone restoring a 1985 to 1990 Mustang GT. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOODYEAR-GATORBACK-225-60VR15-FITS-1985-1990-MUSTANG-BRAND-NEW-/330772662027?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d0396470b&vxp=mtr Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlangvardt Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I had both a 1986 and 1988 Mustang GT which came new with these tires. I couldn't wait to get them off. They have really bad wet traction. In my opinion there are only good for a show car and not a driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to today's tires they are no longer the ticket, especially at that price. What they are good for is someone restoring a 80's Fox body who desires the stock look.
