G-Man Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | With what tires were G's factory-equipped in the 1980s? I'm looking for standard issue tires (preferably best for on-road use) to put on my G. I still have factory alloys. Anybody know what tires Gs were leaving Graz with in 1987, and whether these tires are still available? If they're not, I'd be happy to hear what non-pimp tires people have enjoyed using on their Gs. When I drove a landy, I had good experiences with BFGs. Thanks. | ||

I think that Goodyear Wrangler was one of the tires used on the alloys back then. I have what I think is the original spare from my truck. Personally I think BFG AT's are fantastic on the truck in that size. -Dai | ||
