Suggestions on new tires??

I have 85 Irocz with orginal rims and has Fuzion tires(never heard of brand) would love to get original Gatorback Tires but haven’t found 16inch versions.

Does anyone have a suggestion on new tires to replace what i have??.. I really want to stick with Goodyear Brand to keep original look..

There are only 3 tires to choose from if you limit yourself to goodyears. The Eagle F1 (best your gonna get, but its $177 a tire) and two lesser tires.

www.tirerack.com is your friend.

I would try a BFG if you want to spend a little money, other wise if its not driven alot and not in the winter, any tire will do as long as its round and black.

My wife's Jeep Liberty came with the SR-A's and I personally think they sucked. They seemed to wear out early and made noise toward the end of their life.
