Need rear tires

[MTDGT]

Any ideas where I can find a rear set of Goodyears for my car? Keep hearing none available until End of August!

 

[BlackICE]

Go with Bridgestone or Hoosiers.

 

[MTDGT]

Will the Bridgestones fit?

 

[bonehead]

Oh boy.....

I'll just post the info before the search police gets here:

REARS: 345/35R-19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Scuderia

FRONTS: 265/40ZR-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A N1(Porsche) XL

Don't get just the rears. Change all four if you're still running the Good Years.

This. Nothing to add. Night and day better than then GY

I'll never put GY's on the FGT ever again...

 

[ROCK]

I have an extra set of new GY F1 Supercar at hand, email me (rvitanza@doraltiles.com) if you want them. $800.00+ shipping for both.

To me, Goodyears are really best only if you want to have original tires on the shelf for some car show in 2024.
If you have any intent of regular driving, Bridgestones are the ones.
As even a novice driver, I could tell the difference immediately when I switched to them from the GYs.

Nothing only works if you're EP, and he no longer has his GT

 

[BlackICE]

EP is the only one that can safely use 10+ year old tires on his cars.

 

[Ed Sims]

Hoosiers!

Ed

 

[BlackICE]

Hoosiers!

Ed

I took Ed's advice.

Are you guys running R6's?

 

[BlackICE]

Yes, the A6 isn't made anymore for the rears.

 

[Xcentric]

If anyone has buyer's remorse over Goodyears, I might take them off your hands. Must be less than three years old and your loss my gain price.

I have Bridgestones now, but never had an issue with Goodyears.

 

[mopar]

just picked mine up with a new set of bridgestones there so much better

You dont get debris sticking to them and then impacting the paint? I pick up enough crap on the track. I would think all kinds of stuff would stick to them on the street.

 

[Xcentric]

First, all kinds of stuff sticks to them on the street, then it pelts your paint, then it puts rock stars in the windshield of the car following you.

I'm not big on regulation, but, if I was a cop, I'd write up anyone with racing slicks on the street. Of, course, I'd be a good cop, and let cat-deletes go.
