To my knowledge, Kelsey Tire out of Camdenton, MO has the main rights to sell GY's I think. Smallhurst gets a pretty good deal on them when he puts a large order together and delivers to the drag race events and so on. He's out of Lees Summit, MO not too far from me.
He's probably your best contact.
Got my G70 14's from Kelsey, they were the least expense.

I always buy mine from Jim Miner here on Moparts(44D6PAKCUDA). I just received four G60-15s and four F60-15s from him last month. Thanks again Jim!

Since you just got them can you shed some light on price?
Thanks Ron

I just got 4 Goodyear Speedways from Kelsey and it took 5 oz to balance two of them with the weights mostly on the outside lip. Looks pretty bad with dog-dish hubcaps. Called them about a warranty and was told that they would write it up and email it to me. They said 5 oz's isn't bad for their tires. So much for business ethics. I thought quality control would have been better on tires, but apparently they are just as bad as other repop parts for our cars. I should have told them we were going to actually use them. The price? Less than a thousand for four. Average price per good tire is just under $500.
First did you have the tire guy move the tire on the rim to try to lessen the weight situation?
Are you saying you paid less than $250 a tire for G 60-15 Good Years from Kelsey?

I had the same issue with their repro Goodyear Polyglas RWL GT's F-60-15's, no amount of tire balancing techniques or re-indexing the carcass on the rim would solve tire vibration issues (they were pretty horrible for driving)...the only thing that finally solved the problem of too many weights which either interfered with trim ring install, or on my rear rims the weights installed on the backside were being wiped off by my rear disc calipers, was.... www.dynabeads.com
