Beauty!

I'm also noting the Goodyear Triple Treads in *dang* good shape too. I could've swore that GY stopped those years ago, but looking up at Tire Rack, I guess not.

Looks so nice I thought maybe that was the 2017 model.
Wishful thinking I suppose.

Thanks again for the compliments. 94NAsta, glad to see you're still at work on your car. I just skimmed through your build thread, man you've done a bunch to it!!

The tires were new in 2014 and I absolutely hate them. The tread spacing is the perfect width to pick up both pebbles from a driveway and sand on winter roads. They are sandblasting the car. Aside from that they're ok. Being a farmer, I'm a sucker for directional bar-tread-style tires.
