New tires -- Most OEM Looking - tread pattern etc.

Time to replace the OEM Goodyears on my 89 Iroc. What is the general consensus out there as far as what looks the closest to the OEM Goodyears. This car is not a daily driver and only taken to shows and is 100% original so my main concern is the appearance of the replacement tires and tread pattern vs the OEM's.

I don't think there are many options to begin with. have you looked at 16" tires. I recall there being 2 maybe 3 choices.

Wasn’t there a rumor they were going to make a replica gatorback?

I love my Doral tires.. was going to get BF Goodrich but these tires are really good..

The BF Goodrich look nice
