get woke go broke.

I had an order for 4 goodyear tires because they were the only ones who made the classic white lettering and g60-15 type I need for my 1971 Buick GS.

I cancelled and told them why. I can live without the white lettering

Any one have a recommendation for the wide (N50 and G60) I am looking for ?

I believe Firestone sells them.

Did you check with Coker Tire? If they don’t have they might be able to recommend a source. It would also be good to let them know why you are suddenly in the market.

A guess for another source for classic tire size and styling is Firestone. Get their corporate toll free telephone number from their website and call it up. Simply ask for customer service. It’s that easy. Heck, the local Firestone branded tire store may know the answer although if they were to say no to availability, l would still go the corporate route above. A quick call to Tire Rack could lead to them doing a special order for a tire that would meet your goal.

Goodyear, Firestone and BFG were the big dog companies for muscle car tires. A 71 Buick GS sure is sweet. My favorite GMs were the 67-69 GTOs and 68 Olds 442. I almost had my father buying me a 68 Shelby 350 luxed out with options but unfortunately he wanted to drive it first. I ended up with a fastback 67 Barracuda.

I’m still thinking about this.... Another source of info would be to contact a car collector person or a company specializing in muscle car restoration. Hey! Call Danny Counts in Las Vegas! Say hi to him for me too! Lol...

Okay.... Just did a bit of searching for you on www.duckduckgo.com using “classic tire” keywords. 2 minutes searching and 5 minutes on the website below looks promising for talking with some specialists. Heads up that you could end up with the P-metric equivalent to the G70. Also, consider a redline tire as an alternative to the white letter.
