Goodyear just released the correct tires for our cars
 

Not cheap, but they are correct and safe to drive on.

Looks like I'll be ordering a set soon for my DPS to replace the 25 year old tires on it.

Thanks for posting that up, Chris! No, they're not cheap, but anyone who drives their SSP even a little bit (as opposed to trailer queens) can now have a correct set of safe tires. Demand for NOS sets will soon be only for those who need a correct set for a fully restored show car, and these new tires will cut into that demand as well.

This is a mystery. I just checked with my brother who's in the wholesale tire business and he states that this tire is not coming from Goodyear. If it was, you'd be hearing about it from them and their dealers. It may be a reproduction but he checked Coker Tire and it's not from them either. There are other companies that repop tires too so if it's legit, it may be coming from another source but considering where it's being advertised from he's a bit skeptical.

The guy lists his MCA number at the bottom. I wonder if MCA or someone like Daniel Carpenter is behind it.

The tires are being reproduced by Kelsey. Price directly from them is $300 each. The tires aren't listed on their company website just yet, but they are in-stock and available.

Nice detective work, Mike! :)

good stuff but expensive. In a couple of years, after the hype wears off they will be a little more reasonable I would imagine.

Yep, my bro emailed me back that exact info while I was in a meeting. He agrees with what Jim says too so looks like I'll keep running my 10 y/o BFGs for just a little while longer.

I just tried to buy two Goodyear 215/65/vr15 tires on Monday (like same ones I had bought a year earlier for the MSP SSP) and was told by Goodyear they are no longer producing/selling any in that size. That has evidently happened in the past year. Getting harder every year to find nice ones in that size.

I have plenty of the originals shelved for my cars, plus I don't do the "action" stuff with a marked car any more. My originals will work just fine. I would however be interested to know if they ride as horrendous as they did 25 years ago. lol They have always been a real crappy tire.
