The only "gatorback" that is still produced is the late model (pre 05) Gt's. Only size available is 245/45/17, and they're not really called that anymore. They are called Goodyear Eagle ZR45's. So you're sorta out of luck

The original 15" Gatorback is out of production. In an issue of Mustang Times a while back someone was asking people to write to Goodyear and Coker and ask for one of them to start production again, since people are starting to restore Foxes.

I think the Tire Rack still has the ZRs.

They're certainly not drag racing tires, but I've really liked my Eagle ZR's. They're smooth riding, good handling, long-wearing street tires that do pretty well in the wet. The only reason I won't buy them again is that I'll upgrade to Eagle GS-D3's when the time comes to replace them.

I've got ONE sitting in my storage...it's on the original spare for my SSP. You pretty much have to find them on eBay to get'em.
