Had to replace the rears on my Stang today and did so with a pair of Goodyear EAGLE GT 225/55/16. Haven't put but 25 miles on em' and I can tell I'll like them over the next 30K miles.... Read alotta mixed reviews but for $100 each installed I couldn't do any worse....

Anybody ever have these on anything......?????

They still make those? Are they an updated tread pattern from the 80's or still the same? Those used to be a very popular performance tire back then.

Ok, I looked them up. Updated for sure. The current GT II looks more like the old original GT. Sorry for posting without looking first.

I had a set of gtII they were good tires wear and handle Bought them in 96 and they were on 3 cars 2 I drove daily then I put them on a car I had parked about 5 years ago that was sold at the end of last summer.(I told the guy to change them because of age but he is still driving on them)
I always kept the pressure in them high 44 psi (max rating on mine) front 40 psi rear but I had them on a caprice classic .

The tires still looked good with no cracks in them I had a set of bf goodrich on my truck started cracking after 4 years they were crap tires
