Help me out guys.
I'm trying to hunt down a set of Good Year Gatorbacks for my '93 (that's what the car originally came with) but GY stopped making that line of tire around '11 or '12. I called up the Richmond Good Year distributor, they don't have 'em in their warehouse...using their nationwide locator service revealed no one else has them either. Bummer.
SO...I found a pair on CL for a crazy good deal, but they were manufactured in 2008. "New" tires, but they're 6 years old. Are these safe? Should I buy them or keep looking?
