Any help on finding a set?

Thanks,

I ran GY Eagle GTII's for 6 years. Decent street tires. 11" rear tread - look great.
No real issues except GY out of production.


I bought a set of GY Billboards but after a trip on backroads, decided they are best for track days.
They are okay on the street but are very lightweight so I fear a road hazard failure on back roads.


I then bought a set of Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T tires. I really like these.
Much smoother rolling, better traction, and decent look. Ran all last season, very, very pleased.


The M/T S/T's (left) compared to GY BillBoads's (right)


Both have 10" tread; the BB's are slightly taller.
Both fit my roadster with ease.

The M/T's can be bought at Performance Plus Tire and these tires are sold with "Free Freight" if that helps.
