Good Year Eagle GS

[Tom R.]

How or where can I find the period of production for the Good Year Eagle GS series? This would be in the P255/60R15 series and no longer produced. I've got a date code of 331 and attempting to narrow it down to either 1981 or 1991 and I suspect its the 1991 date.

I don't know what the exact manufacturing period for the various Goodyear GS was. However, I don't think that they were being produced anywhere near 1981, but the were definitely being manufactured in 1991.

If it's the same tire that Tom is referring to, the Goodyear GS-C debuted with the model year 1992 Corvette. The Goodyear Gatorbacks were used from 1984 through 1991.

Re: Good Year Eagle GS

After reviewing my "tire" files, I believe 1991 is the correct year. The DOT was moved from the top of the TIN to the left side sometime after 1982 according to the photos I have. Plus, I believe the factory (tire) went to a standard impression followed by two gangs (plates) that could be changed out one of which was the date code. I don't think tire manufacturers (GY) were doing this in 1981.

There were several "GS" series tires; the GS-C was one of them. There was also the GS-A and GS-D. There may have been others, too. I don't think that the production period for all was the same.

Actually many of those in the GS series are in production today but as JL points out they fall in the GS-X series. The GA was involved in the SUV rollover studies from 2001

Goodrich P255/60R15

Last Saturday, I acquired a set of American Racing wheels and tires off of a 61 Vette. The rears are Goodrich P255/60R15 on 15-7 wheels. I was wondering if these will fit on my 64 coupe without any modifications? As always,thanks in advance.
