Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
I am a nit picker...I freely admit it. I cannot stand cheap/no-name/offbrand tires. It wrecks the look and feel of a car for me. When I had Avon ZZ1s on my Z28 back when I bought it in 2001, I hated them. Between the crappy name no one had ever heard of, the hunting they did over every groove in the road, the excess noise etc...they sucked.
I put new Eagle GSCs on it in 2002...other than being kinda hard now (which makes track launches a PITA), they still look perfect, have no cracks etc. 10 years and 25k miles use...I cannot complain.

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
Quite honestly, It's the very 1st thing I look at when I see a car in the mags or at a show.
If I see cheap tires or ugly tread, in my mind, I put the car in 2 different catagories, I won't ever say it to the person tho because its very rude. I always look for the good stuff about a car and comment on those things..
To me, its a part of the wheel and It can make or break the looks of the car. I'm also a bit weird.
I do use cheap/ugly tires sometimes... for burnouts

I got F1s to replace the factory Gatorbacks on my '89 for basically two reasons: 1) They seemed like the best 245/50/16 tire available and 2) they are EXACTLY the same dimensions as my Gatorbacks - not all 245/50/16s are. I've never really warmed up to their tread pattern though. If Gatorbacks were available today, I'd waste no time on putting a set back on my '89.

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
Any word from Kelly Tire when the Goodyear Gatorbacks will be available late 2014 or in 2015??? I will be ready for a tire change then. I really don't like anything out there tire wise. Not many Big Name manufactures making that size anymore other than Goodyear and BF Goodrich. The Goodyear F1 are OK. What a great way to have the stock tire again with that pattern and made to today's standards?! Bring back the GS-C's!!!

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
When I was buying tires about a year ago, the Good Year F1s were out of stock nationwide. I waited a few months but eventually went with Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500s (why do tires have such ridiculous names?). They perform amazingly well and the tread looks nice; however, their dimensions are smaller than the original good years. They are a tad skinnier and don't have the more bulbous sidewall and squared shoulder that the Good Years do. They're 245s... if they came in 255 that'd be the way to go.
Chazman (the Godfather of F-body history IMHO
) says the F1's are the exact same dimensions as the original Gatorbacks. So...it should follow that the Firestone Wide Oval 500s are actually slightly wider than the original tires and should have a slightly more squared appearance due to their wider tread width. Am I evaluating this wrong here? This is somewhat important as the Firestones are only $492.00 and score superior to excellent in all categories, while the F1s are a whopping $904.00, nearly double the price, and probably aren't going to be much better in daily driving. The Firestones also carry a higher wear rating and are 1 pound lighter per tire. My research seems to point to the Firestones as the best tire for the money for these cars.

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
I'd rather buy another set of BFG TA Radials. I have a set of 225/R15s in my basement that are almost 20 years old. Have about 20,000 miles on them and still in great shape. Only reason the are not on my Z-28 now is I got a free set of tires when I bought my stock rims. New TAs for my car cost $110 apiece. No way I'd spend $300/tire.

Hi guys!!!
I am glad someone pointed me to your tread.
I am in close association with Kelsey Tire who is the exclusive distributor of the Goodyear Reproduction tires. I will tell you that Kelsey is always working on the next big thing....... can you say Gatorback?
On a side note, the Eagle GT 215/65/15 and 255/60/15 were just released in November. Feel free to contact me. I can get you a better price than the posted retail!!!!!

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
I just bought a set of BFG Sport Comp 2's for my 92 Z28, but would have considered a new Gatorback as long as it was properly compounded for a sports tire. Keep in mind that the Gatorback was developed with GM for the C4 Corvette. It was also an intergral part of the IROC/TA and Mustang/Capri performance chasis offerings. Take it from me, they were worlds ahead of the prior Eagle Gts or Michelin TRX's on the GM and Ford cars from prior years. It is important to realize that tires may not wear with age, but they do still break down with time. My Z06 and Viper do not see much use these days, but the tires do go away with age. Generally, the rubber gets harder and less grippy after just a few years, even in the garge. My Z06 hooks decently with a fresh set of Supercars, but after about 4-5000 miles or 2 years, it feels like I've added 100hp to the car. It will just blaze the tires without trying at all. I see people trying to get 40k out of Vette tires all the time, but road handling decreases as the miles OR years add up. Basically, a performance tire is meant to be used as such, and in a modest time frame. Expecting 15 year old tires to be sound is just unwise. Thanks, Oldtimer.

Smallhurst (Rusty) I spoke with kelsey tire and they spoke with the guy in charge... there is nothing on the board for them to create the gatorback in our size. The have created only the 225/VR 60/15 for mustangs. They are only working on 1982 and earlier. Not there yet. no plans....

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
That's a shame they won't make them in 245/50/16 or the 'vette sizes (I believe 255/50/16 and then 17 inch variants). You'd think the market would be bigger there than the 15 inch market...
I'm not sure how tire measurements are done - on the car or off the car. Regardless, the "footprint" of the tread appears visually smaller than the Gatorbacks did. Part of it is the Gatorbacks coming with a clean sidewall, while the Firestones taper down en route to the contact patch. These are minor details, of course.
Really? That's not what the spec sheets say. According to Tire Rack, the P245/50ZR16 Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500s have a 10" section width (the width of the tire from inner to outer sidewall) and 8.5" tread width (inner to outer tread). The Goodyear F1s have a 9.8" section width and an 8.4" tread width. Their overall diameters are identical at 25.7", and their revs per mile only differ by 1 rev per mile (812 for the Firestone v. 813 for the Goodyear).
Chazman (the Godfather of F-body history IMHO) says the F1's are the exact same dimensions as the original Gatorbacks. So...it should follow that the Firestone Wide Oval 500s are actually slightly wider than the original tires and should have a slightly more squared appearance due to their wider tread width.

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
I think these tires would be a good option for folks that want to have their cars looking back close to factory stock.
Yes there are other tires on the market today that offer better performance - but keep in mind that these Gatorbacks made their first apperance on Camaros on the IROC in the 1985 model year. So we are talking about technology that is now close to 30 years old.
I know there would be a market for these tires if they started making them again. There are still many people (just like me) who are going to keep their 16''x 8'' IROC and Z28 stock style wheels.
If they are going to make the Eagle GT's for the 15'' Z28 wheel they should make another tire for the 16'' Camaro wheels.
Something that I am also surprised at is why no company has made larger size thirdgen 15'' Z28 wheels. They look good and were used over the entire run of thirdgens. Would be nice to see this wheel at least in a 16'' or 17'' size and have a larger width than the stock 7''.

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
Gatorbacks were introduced in 1983 for the 1984 Corvette (and other cars) - making them older than most members on this board.
If you think they are crappy, why did the IROCs and Trans Ams corner up to 0.90g on them? Sure there are better, but as with all new tire sizes, not much is available the first few years, then the flood comes...

I do not understand why they can make a 225/60 but not a 245/50. It isn't like one is pink and one is purple...they are the same damn tire compound and tread! Oh well...I wasn't going to spend $1,400 anyway, even for my beloved IROC...

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
FWIW, I bought a set of BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2s and they're outstanding, and of course available in our P245/50ZR16 size. They were very affordable at $159/tire and look good. They're also state of the art in terms of tread and compound.
It would be nice if they reproduced Gatorbacks (and GSCs for the 1991-92 cars). I'd buy them if I had a show car in stock class. But for a car I own primarily to drive, I'd want the most cutting edge tire available.

The Gatorback tread in a modern compound would be awesome.
I'm looking at a set of ROH RS's in 17x8.5 and 17x9.5... and the GS-C's are still avail in 285's and 255's

Just a little update. Some of the Mustang guys who have purchased the 225/60/15 Gatorback reproductions are reporting great performance with them. They are the original design visually, but made with modern compounds.

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
Did I already note the old Bridgestone Potenza RE71's superiority for street, and the original BFG Comp T/A R1 for competition? If it's a matter of looks, the Gatorbacks are correct, a few other 245/50R16s are actually too wide, and should be re-labelled 265/45s, but most 245/50R16s are actually not quite wide enough, and should be re-labelled 225/55s. I like the old BFG Comp T/A VR4s, they just looked just right. Not sure about the replacement g-Force A/S, nobody shows them mounted because they're far overpriced.

What's the closest to the Gatorback that's currently available? I mean in terms of factory size and look... is it the Good Year Eagle F1 GS-D3?

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
Rhetorically? Perhaps not: If you're going to reproduce a period-correct tire, why not make it the best tire available in that time period? Gatorbacks weren't it. But GM factory-fitting those cars with Bridgestones? Funny.

Oh, I see what you're saying. What the hell, the more the merrier. But if I'm going to pay an inflated price for repro tires, I'd rather get correct looking Gatorbacks.

Re: If they still offered 245/50/16 Gatorbacks, would you buy them?
I never really thought the GS-C tires were all that good. When I switched the Gatorbacks out for the GS-D3, I loved them. They had everything I wanted. Fantastic in the dry. Down right Amazing in the wet. They have an aggressive and unique look to them. And they're the "right" size. There is nothing about the Gatorbacks I miss compared to the GS-D3.
GS-D3 have been iffy in terms of replacements though as I'm sure many are aware. That's why I have Michelin now. The Pilot Sport A/S tread design has slowly grown on me. Though I still dislike the narrow look of their 245 tires.
If the Gatorback tires came out again? I'd say no. They look nice in a fairly non descript way. But they have less performance than the GS-D3 in the dry and absolutely not even close in the wet.
In today's world with nearly all cars coming with 17" minimum wheels and 225 being about the smallest size on anything, it's just hard to make a 245 on 16" look as big as they did back in the 1980's. I remember when the Gatorbacks looked huge on the GTA. Today? Ordinary in size.

The GS-D3s are back in stock. They seem to come and go. Unfortunately, I have plenty of life left on my Firestones...

I really hope they come out soon. Nothing else give that "look" Here they are on my 10k mile car. Really want to buy a new set!

Would be great to get a new set of
Gatorbacks for the Iroc.!
the tires that are on there now
are eagle gt II's and they
were installed in 1997, and
have maybe 1,400 miles on them
No thats not a typo

I will be going to visit Kelsey in a couple of weeks.
I know that he is working on a couple of big projects. The learning curve is steep on the HP and UHP tires, but much is being learned.
The tires are all being built to the highest level and tested following DOT standards. All speed rated tires must be tested as such.
All of the Goodyear reproductions are made in the USA.
Contact me with questions. My cell is 816-654-3400.
