Not here for a tie debate. That said M/t for what ever reason stopped making this tire. Unsure what to replace it with. This tire has worked them best for us pretty disappointed its not gonna be available.

A Hoosier 18372 D06 will replace it.

Goodyears owns MT so my guess they want you to run the GY version. I have ran both in years past and the GY is a much better tire, at least it was for me. Plus it holds air.
I wanted to try the Hoosier but the section width was to wide for my Camaro

I ran the Gy 1408 before which is they same size and stiffside wall was a good tire also.

Looks like the GY 1408 is your only choice unless you have room for the Hoosier

Said you would need more BS. Guessing noway to run spacer. I have 1/2" billet spacers from Neil and Parks has 3 patterns and Neil and Parks only make good stuff.

If you are looking to stay MT the 3074s would be a good option.

Well i am vain and like the look of a fat tire lol. I know a 32-14 would be fine. That said the car is flat printing tickets. Got to 4 cars thursday 5k and 7 cars at the 20k saturday at vmp. Was going well until someone was rather rude and slapped a .001 total package down making my .007 bulb useless lol

if it ain't broke don't fix it though if it's printing tickets, it should print tickets with a 14" tire too and will run quicker too.
