Gatorbacks are back!! Reply #2 – August 06, 2012, 10:56:36 PM Wow...that's a lot of cash. Oh well, I'll stick with the 17 inch Nexxen tires. They have done the Sport well so far. Quote Selected
Gatorbacks are back!! Reply #3 – August 07, 2012, 08:07:27 PM So factory OEM aside, what makes these tires appealing? They don't look like anything special to me. Quote Selected

Gatorbacks are back!! Reply #9 – August 08, 2012, 11:24:42 AM !I was hoping Goodyear wouldn't do that.I guess my hopes of selling my stash of original Gatorbacks for a good price are fading fast.Oh well, at least mine still have the correct date codes going for them. Quote Selected
Gatorbacks are back!! Reply #10 – August 10, 2012, 12:31:16 AM No thanks! I had a set of those once, and they were absolutely HORRIBLE in the rain. I was hydroplaning during even just mild showers. Just awful!I used to buy Bridgestone RE960AS Pole Position tires, but they stopped making them for T/C rims so now I have Bridgestone Turanza Serentity's on. I've learned the hard way to go for top wet-weather performance if I don't want things getting too interesting in the Spring and Autumn.What sold me on the Bridgestone grand touring line was a thread on a Seattle BMW forum. I was looking for the best wet-weather tires and they were swearing by them. I figure if they're tops in Seattle then that's good enough for me, and I've been happy with them ever since.
