Screwed today

[Mr.Vintage]

Ran over a piece of metal punctured drivers rear tire in the sidewall (Backing into parking spot)

Oh and they are the GS-C tires in almost perfect condition!!

Now what? I love the tread pattern and haven't been able to find anything even close??

What do you guys think I should do

 

[Jan Larsson]

Most places can repair the tires if it's like a nail type of puncture.

You can't repair sidewalls

I have a complete set of GSC's I've had stored forever in my garage. I'm selling them as a set only. $800. If anyone thinks the price is high try and find a set of new GSC's 245/50/16's...

Sorry didn't see that part :-(

 

[Mr.Vintage]

What shape are you GS-C in? could you post some pics?

Search Ebay often, single tires pop up from time to time. Might get lucky and find a match for a decent price. You could also lurk around the Vette boards, one might be for sale there.

Good Luck

 

[Mr.Vintage]

Thanks for the help guy's.
I can't find a new set of tires that I like? What are you guy's running?

In the mean time I ordered up a set of Mickey Thompson drag radials the 255/50r16 hopefully they will fit, so atleast I can drive the car in a week or so

The Firehawk Indy 500 looks nice

Just checked with the firestone store and until the end of the month, you buy 3 of these tires and you get 1 free. I don't know if that is nation wide or not.

I think Andre mentioned in a earlier thread this year that Goodyear is going to quit making the 245-50-16 Eagle GT type tire. If you want a Goodyear on your car (and who honestly doesn't want the best) better order now!
