New Tires

[GNX#243]

Hello All,
The tires on my GNX are nearly 20 years old and would like to put new tires on so I am not nervous and filled with anxiety while driving the car to various car shows throughout the summer. I did not realize that these 245 50 16 and 255 50 16 tires are no longer made (from same manufacturer and tread). I figured I would post this thread in the hopes that one of my fellow GNXers would be able to point me in the right direction to obtain a new set. I found BF Goodrich G-force, but only in one size.....same with Toyo. I do not want a mixed set, but I may not have a choice.....unless I use 245s all around, but rims not designed for that. Cost is not a big concern, within reason of course.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What did you end up doing for tires? I have a GN that has the GNX style wheels and need new tires. Trying to decide what to purchase for tires.

I have not made a decision yet. I will likely go with the 245s all around, but since they are quite pricey, I am holding off for now.
Which tires were you considering for your car?
