It’s time for Round 4 of our monthly Michelin/BFGoodrich Tire Giveaway! Our partners at Michelin USA have granted us the ability to hand out brand new sets of Michelin, Michelin Classic, and BFGoodrich tires to select BaT auction winners. We hate to play favorites within the BaT community, so we’re asking for your help in choosing which vehicle is most worthy of new rubber.
Here’s how it works:
We’ve identified four candidates below, all no-reserve vehicles wearing older or mixed generic rubber (or both). We want you to tell us which you’d like to see get a free set of new Michelin, Michelin Classic or BFGoodrich tires! Let us know your vote in the comments, and please vote for one car only. As with our Question of the Week contests, we heavily favor the People’s Choice—but on occasion, we reserve the right to hand the prize to the most appropriate candidate in our view. Since the auctions close over the course of a few days, voting will remain open until midnight Pacific time on Tuesday, May 19. That gives you time to think, and gives the auctions time to run their courses. We’ll tally the votes and announce the winner on Wednesday, May 20.
In no particular order, here are your candidates!
1970 Oldsmobile Toronado w/Parts Collection
First up is the oldest car in our group—a 1970 Toronado in Ming Jade over white vinyl Strato buckets. 1970 was the final year for the first-gen E-body, and it received an annual styling update for the occasion, as was the custom at the time. This car seems like an intact survivor, and if that somehow turns out not to be the case, it comes with a whole swap meet worth of parts. We don’t know if the double-stripe J78-15 BFGs are original to the car, but they are manufacturer’s spec. For driving around in modern traffic, this car needs modern tires, and the OEM rubber can go into the giant stash of spares.
