The mid-80's is a long time to hope that a certain tire style is still available. Most of the ones I've liked in the past have been unavailable for so long, that even if I found one I wouldn't buy it because it would just be too old to use.
And speaking of too old. If you had taken your old tires with you (how long ago now?), they might have worn out before they wore out. If you know what I mean.
My favorite tire was the General Grabber M/T of the mid-nineties. Even though that model tire is (or was until recently) still around, the tread pattern has changed at least once or twice in that time.
Good luck though. Maybe someone's doing some old-tire reproductions that won't cost too much of an arm-and-a-leg.
Is it Coker Tire that does that? Or someone else? I know Coker makes some old tires, like the old Military Jeep tires for instance. Seems like they have a lot of older repros going on too. Probably depends on demand, but maybe still worth a call if you don't find what you're looking for through some other source.
