Jim - sorry, maybe bad use of the word by me - did not imply assuming in a negative sense.

No worries Jake. I'm actually (in a selfish way) trying to get some of these good folks who manufacture reproduction tires for our cars to make one that would appeal to a wide audience of muscle car enthusiasts like Diamond Back tires has done with their modern radials for older cars that resemble the originals.

Those Eagle STs were good tires. They had smaller solid letters versus the GTs that had the large outline letters. I used to run them on my Mopars back in the 80s and 90s. Good alternative to the BFG T/A radial.

I will let him know about the interest in the ST's, but I know that he is looking at the collector tires. I have had several of my friends in the Hurst/Olds club mention the 215/65/15 Outlined RWL Eagle GT's. I will pose the question to the V8Buick board and I am sure to get the answer of Blackwall Eagle GT's for GN's. What did the Monte SS's have? Were they the Outlined RWL or were they Blackwall? Also, the Z/28's in 83-84, were they outlined RWL or blackwall? Looking for input!!! Thanks guys!!

Monte SS's had outlined RWL, Camaro's had either outlined RWL or RBL. Turbo T's also had outline RWL. I believe the Camaro's were the same 215/65/15 as the 442/GN/SS cars.
