I'm trying to find some tires that look similar to the ones that came on the car from the factory. All in all, I'm looking for RWL tires. BUT...I can only find Dunlop 205/60-13 GT Qualifier and BF Goodrich 205/60-13. Are these the only ones out there? What about 185/70-13 or another 13 inch size? Somebody must have RWL 13" tires on their 1st gen.....PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

See if you can still find some Goodyear Wingfoot HP in 185/70. Very good rubber compound for drag racing, very receptive to burnouts.

Also try looking for some Kelly Chargers (I think still available in 205/60).

Few years ago I bought the last set of 205/60 Goodyear Eagle ST's in Ohio... unfortunately they were about 10 years old and dried out from sitting that long. Real shame because ST's had great rubber compound. The Wingfoot HP replaced the old ST and has a similar-but-not-quite compound. I guess some people want their cars to have traction when the ground gets below 40 degrees.

 

Can't find any Goodyear Wingfoots or Kelly Chargers in either 205/60 or 185/70. Oh well, I wonder how the BF Goodrich will look?

 

I think Dunlop and BFG make rwl tires. Talk to TireRack.com.

 

At the Goodyear shop where I worked (one of the largest independents in the nation) we had a cool computer system, just punch in a tire size and it'd tell us what was available, where, at what warehouses, etc. I found all sorts neat stuff Another one to try is the Monarch Road Hugger which is basically the Kelly Charger. I've had both on various cars (Road Huggers (Choad Buggers) on my Impulse Turbo, Chargers on one of my T-birds) and liked 'em both. Hmm come to think of it I had some Road Huggers on my first T-bird before I replaced 'em with a set of fresh Eagle ST's

edit: Dunlop GT Qualifiers - UGH. I had those on my Subaru. They look nice, but unfortunately they were blessed by Our Lady of Tread Separation. Plus they had all the traction of bare skin on a Slip-N-Slide, wet or dry. That can be entertaining with AWD, but I couldn't recommend them to anyone.
