My Challenger was vandalized by a couple of kids over the winter while in storage. 2 front tires were sliced. They were 235/60/15 Dunlop G/T Qualifiers. I called several tire stores and was told the Qualifier line has been discontinued. The rears are new and I don't want to have to replace all 4. I was able to find 255's, but they are too big. Anyone know of a source for these tires? Thanks

I haven't seen them in quite some time. kinda disapointing too, cause there's not many white letter tires left out there for these old cars. BFGs are being made in fewer and fewer sizes, and other white letters are no longer made. unless you want to stick to a stock sized tire, it's getting harder and harder to find them.

it wouldn't surprise me if the qualifiers were gone

There is a GT Qualifier T now. It has raised white letters on one side and black on the other. I haven't seen regular Qualifiers in a while now. Try looking at tirerack.com or discount tires.com, or do a google search.

they have been out of the market down here in Venezuela since at least 5 years now. I had to get Dunlop SP Spots instead.

Tire Rack doesn't list them under the Dunlop name, so it would appear that they are no longer available......

Just went through this about 6 months ago, no deal. Looked nation wide but couldn't even find one. Sucks, but I had to go with BFGs.

I would have gone with cooper cobras over BFG's.

I have cooper cobras on my 69 Bee. Been on since 1991 and still look OK, no dry rot. They don't make them like that anymore. I got a set of Dunlaps a few years back, just looked at tirerack.com and not there. I guess I'd go with BFG's or Cooper.
