Gunslinger said: Since these lines of tires aren't generally continually made, but occasional runs by the tire makers, shortages seem to occur with distressing regularity. Be prepared to do some searching and have an alternative should your first choice be unavailable.
I used to work at Goodyear/Dunlop Buffalo. It's one of the few plants left that can do short runs of tires in an economical way. I was told once that most plants were only doing 1 or two compound changes during a 24 hour span. We would oftern do 20 in an 8 hour shift. The real probem comes in changing molds. Cleaning of a mold can take 4+ hours so that is a real deterrent to changing tires.
I went with the Futura from pep boys, 235/60 15 but I have an 81 and don't know if they will fit your car(lots of info about that here). I love the look and added traction. I have about 4800 miles on them this summer and like them. I did bring them back to Pep Boys to have them re-balanced at no charge.
