My Goodyears were shot due to a poor alignment. Sadly they don't make the yellow letters any more so I had to migrate away from goodyear and get something with some decent performance.

Old tires were 235/60s worn to the cords :(

New ones are 235/60 up front 255/60 in rear. BF Goodrich Radial TA blackwalls. I had them flip the white letters to the inside for the blackwall look.

The car handles and performs leaps and bounds better. I am no longer afraid to push the car through turns. It is now predictable and I spent the day driving down through malibu to Palos Verdes.

I'll miss the yellow letters, but am MUCH happier performance wise.

Time to paint the wheel centers gold to match the car... Duplicolor.

I've considered it. Also Considered going to a Minilite wheel
