Tire Question
Hey, i have a 91 GTA and the RPO code said it came with p245/50ZR16 and i was wondering if anyone knew what brand of tire they used, and do they still make them? Thanks

If I'm not mistaken they were Goodyear Eagle GT's (Gatorbacks) and that particular line has been discontinued.
My personal preference is Firestone Firehawk SZ50EPs.
Good Luck!

1991 used the Eagle ZR50, which is commonly known as the "Gatorback"
The Eagle GT was a different tread pattern than the Gatorback.
The VR/ZR 50's were directional. They were awesome tiresin their time. But thanks to tire technology those Firestone SZ50EP's are hard to beat, and if cost is no object look into the Bridgestone Potenza S-02 & S-03 Pole Positions. Ultimate grip Wet or Dry!!
