So I have been searching for tires for the 81. As you probably know the 2 sizes that came with my car(255/60 15 and 225/70 15) are becoming increasingly difficult to find. I spoke to Jesse at my local Mr Tire. Many of the brands we are familiar with, Goodyear, BF Goodrich, Cooper...show that these sizes are no longer available. He was able to track down someone at one of the warehouses he deals with who said the old sku numbers for the BF Goodrich tire, at least in the 255/60 15 size was discontinued. They changed the tread and or compound so they have a new sku. Chances are whatever site or dealer you are going through is checking with the old sku number. They also mentioned that BF Goodrich has no plans to discontinue this size. Now if I can get Santa this info...
