    Firestone quit making my favorite Skylark tires (Indy 500s). Who still makes good tires for these old Buicks that provide high miles and decent grip?

    Got mine at Discount Tire last year
    They had $100 off a set of four tires
    P255 60 15s all around for $500 installed and balanced

    Really a bummer, because the set I owned I considered to be the best tire I have ever owned!

    Try Cooper Cobras. They come raised white letter. I have them on my GS. I like them.

    Yup, that's the way I went. Spray painted the white letters black.

    70sgeek drive it like a rental.

    Just put the Cobras on my ragtop - great 2nd choice behind the BFGs in cost - only have about 300 mi on them but happy so far
