New tire experiences
 

I know options on correct size tires have become fewer, with each passing year. It's been several years since the last time I purchased new tires for an SSP. Of late, what are folks finding available that you like? I am going to need to buy some new tires in the near future for 1992 / 1993 model years, and curious of recent experiences. Thank you!

Youre right about there being limited choices in 225/60R15 tires. I put a set of these Generals (in 18") on my wife's 2018 Escape -

It rode much better than the OEM Continetal tires. No issues to report for the year or so before selling the truckster.

Thanks for the feedback, it seems will only become more difficult as time passes. Whatever happened with the gatorback ones that were being re-popped? Not sure I'd be up to spend as much as those sold for, but someone used to post about them regularly here and I don't recall seeing anything lately. I don't recall seeing remanufactured Eagle GTs (if I have the name right) like what SSPs used.

I have the mentioned tires - they are not a performance tire and as hard as a rock. My SSP is my daily driver, but I wish better options were avaialbe. Here are the links to the Goodyear Eagle VR60 tires - https://www.kelseytire.com/performan...gatorback-bsl/

Now that LMR has come out with 10 Hole wheels in 17 inches, I will buy a set of those in black so that I can get modern performance tires.

I ended up getting BF Goodrich Raidal TAs in the original size for my 1993 MSHP SSP. Took it on a longer drive too/from a car show, last Saturday. They have quite a nice ride and look good, too!

My son and I attended the Mustang and Ford show yesterday, at the Gilmore Car Museum. It was a 4 hour round trip drive…very pleased with these tires.

Thanks for sharing your experience. That is a classic tire that looks good and performs well. I wish they weren't so pricey but those are the times in which we live.
