The perfect tire for your Fox Body Mustang! This Goodyear Eagle Gatorback radial features 225/60R15 sizing, which is authentic for 1985 through 1989 Ford Mustangs and many other makes and models from the 1980's. The black sidewall is clean and smooth, with authentic markings and an authentic tread pattern. Known as the Eagle VR60, or simply the Gatorback, these tires are V speed rated, and perform well in all weather conditions.
Since the introduction of carbon black rocked the tire industry, the original recipe for most tires has been a solid black sidewall. For classics and collector cars alike, it's hard to beat the no-nonsense appeal of a classic blackwall style tire. British sports car, classic truck and even hot rod enthusiasts love the way a nice period correct blackwall tire looks on their vehicles.
Originally developed for sports and muscle cars demanding maximum grip and precise handling, the Gatorback featured an aggressive, directional tread pattern that resembled alligator skin—earning it its legendary nickname. With V-rated performance (certified up to 149 mph) and a radial construction, this tire became standard or optional equipment on some of the era’s most powerful cars, delivering cutting-edge dry and wet traction for spirited driving. The P225/60VR15 sizing was widely used on factory 15-inch aluminum or alloy wheels, offering a low-profile look with enhanced cornering capability.
