Anyone know where I might be able to get a set of 14" GT Qualifiers? Had a set back in the '90s, loved them. BFG's are OK but looking for something different.
Checked TireRack, Discount Tire, eBay, etc... Even checked Dunlop site. Looks like they still make them, just don't know where to get them.

 

Ah, bought a set for my 70 Cutlass 4 door back in the 80s. Actually made it look kinda cool. They were the big diamond tread, way cool.

Then a few years later I bought a set for my S10 pickup. They were a metric pattern. Got 80K out of them and then sold the truck. Nice, nice tires.

I haven't seen Qualifiers in years. If you find where to get some let us know, I wouldn't mind buying a set for my convertible.

 

A quick search shows them available at Sams Club and Discount Tire.

 

I was going to say, I believe GT Qualifiers are a warehouse store brand. Randy S pointed that out

 

This the look you're after?

 

Looks good with those tires. BFG's look similar with the right wheels and tire size.

 

Wow, those are really vintage and look great! I'd guess this is more of what he had in mind though (pic of one of my Supremes from 12+ years ago):

Does anyone know if the white letter design has changed on GT QUALIFIERS over the years? The reason I ask is I know of a GM dealer who has a set of NOS 14" GT Qualifiers, 70's vintage, in their inventory.

 

Tires do not have an infinite shelf life. I would proceed with caution on purchasing 14 year old tires.

 

Radials or fiberglass belted? Tire sidewalls were constantly changing - there was one "oddball" RWL design on my '66 442. They (G70-14 fiberglass belted Dunlops) were just rollers on the 442, but were being used ~20 years ago on the H/0.

 

While I LOVE that vintage look.....


THAT is exactly what my '72 looked like back in the early 90's (SS1's with those exact tires).....except my baby was dark green. Those are the tires I'd like to find. I checked Discount Tire but I'll check again....and I'll look into Sam's Club. Thanks for the info and pics guys!

 

Update: Although Tirerack lists the Dunlops on their site, they tell me:
"that tire has been long discontinued and our stock sold." Bummer.
