Interesting the tires are Goodyear Eagle GT's. A really great tire in my limited experience. My first set surprised me considerably. I bought a new 1980 turbo 280 ZX (180hp) that came with Toyo tires, It would smoke the tires in first and second, third would break loose more than bit, and 4th and 5th a quick shift at full throttle would make for a solid chirp. Replaced them with the Goodyear Eagle GT's. The tires would break loose just a bit in first under a very aggressive launch, 2nd and above the only thing letting go was the clutch slipping a bit. Tires stuck like glue. Cornered on proverbial rails. I think these were the best tires I ever owned, before or after this car. At least for the day they were tremendous. I have had successor Eagles more recently on a pickup or 2...not the same...
