Got my new set of Goodyear Gatorbacks from Rusty Small on Saturday. Hope to have them on in time for the Gate City Triad Mustang Club Car Show this coming Saturday in Greensboro.

Are these the new and improved versions? Kelsey Tire still doesn't have them listed on their website.

Yes, these are the latest version from Kelsey. They ran a small batch to send to customers on a waiting list and asked that we give them feedback on their performance, ride quality, etc. I'll keep you posted.

Went to a car show in Greensboro this past weekend that was about a 140 mile round trip. Mostly Interstate travel at speeds between 65 and 75 mph. Tires did great! Have a great feel to them cruising on the highway. More noisy on concrete than asphalt, but not objectionable. Will try them out on some two lane roads in the near future.
