It changes automatically pending on the number of posts you have. Mine just changed to limited edition when I hit 500 posts.

Had to find them used on my local kijiji, on the positive I got great deals on them, as I still have 3 brand new ones waiting for spring, but the downside is they are no longer in production so getting a replacement is next to impossible unless you get lucky and find some for sale used. There are some Goodyear dealers that still have them as "old stock" that they will sell as used tires, but you are more than likely only able to find a single tire. They came out with a yellow lettered edition of these tires as well for the Jeff Gordon edition, but they are also no longer in production, occasionally they come up for sale, but sadly a lot of the times, the seller wants a lot of money as they are hard to find, especially in good condition.
A lot of the guys buy the paint at your local auto parts store and paint the raised parts of the tires, a member ZJerry (I believe that is who it is, if I am mistaken I apologize) paints his Goodyear tires with a yellow paint, and to be honest it looks pretty dam awesome, but the downside is that they do require a touch up periodically, I believe he stated approx every 3 months

Yellow letters is stupid but white letter tires are killer. Had them on my Chevelle and it's just a must that cars don't have these days it's a shame

I grew up on the school of Muscle cars should have white lettered tires, my personal preference is BF Goodrich Radial T/A's, I just think they look very nice when covered in armour all and mounted on a set of Cragar SS rims, had a set on my 72 Chevelle SS, and still kick my *** for letting them go with the car, well actually for letting the car go too but you do what you got to do sometimes even though you know you will regret it lol.

The only problem is that our cars, aren't really true muscle cars in the sense of the word, I don't think they should have come in a 6 cylinder, at least not the SS model, but then again I am not a GM engineer lol
