    Ed, perhaps some of our friends who will be at Kissimmee this week might just spot one.

    I will be looking out for you and asking around.

      Ed. Are you sure the tires you are looking for are the GS-C. I thought the GSC was the later tire ??? Maybe my memory is fading, but I don't think the GSC is the right tire for he 90. GSC came out in 92 when the ASR system was introduced.

        Tom, Ed mentioned GC-C tires and you mentioned GSC tires. Are they the same?

          Ooops. Might have mis read. his post. I just don't remember the GC-C term. I have a 90 tire here in my collection. ( Not in my drawer, of course. ) No GC-C designation on it. It is an original from a complete 90 set from a ZR1.

            To avoid confusion. If there is any. The 92-96 GS-C tread is on the left. The 90 Goodyear tread is on the right.

              Pat and Tom,

              I have three tires that came off a 1990 Base car that were put away for judging only. Tom the tire on the right is exactly like the three I have. When I purchased this car it was shoed with Cooper tires. The 1990 and 1993 judging manuals list the same tire. The 93 ZR-1 (which I just sold) had the same tire on the front. The P315 ( 11 inches wide) was on the rear. They were all gator back designed. Tom I appreciate your photos, if you want to part with any of those tires, let me know. Fred thank you in advance for helping me out. If the tires I have are not the exact match for my 1990 I will take a small hit, better than a full deduct.

                That's great you have the right ones. I can assure you though, the 90 and 93 did NOT use the same tire. That, I did not forget.

                  You are absolutely correct. The Goodyear GS-C tire was first used for the 1992 model year and then used through 1996.

                  I am not aware of any Goodyear tire that was ever designated "GC-C".
