Curious as to what tire everyone has (brand/size/performance likes-dislikes/would you buy again?) I'm thinking of replacement and would like feedback to help in my decision.

Thanks!

Hey Guys,
The previous owner of my 81 installed 255/60R15 Yokohama Response GT. Overall, great tires, but who would put a Yokohama on the only American sportcar???|dead| Hoping to swap them out at some point. TAH81

Vette(s): 73 yellow metallic coupe, 454 LS-4, M-21
255&245/50zr16 Dunlop Sport 8000's on mine, So far I like them but only put probably 800 on them so far, definitily pretty sticky compared to the old BFG's that were on there, don't expect them to last long however.

Vette(s): 1979 two tone blue
Just installed a new set of BFG 255/60/15 T/A and what a ride improvement over the BFG 235/60/15 Vr4 that were there before. I dont plan on going around a conner as fast as before but for a daily driver these tires fit the bill. They are a good all weather tire with great styling that ride quiet going down the hiway.

Just put on 4 new Firestone Firehawk SS20. According to the Tire Rack rating chart, this was the BEST tire in a 15" they offered. The size I bought was 255/60/15.

I'm not a fan of Firestone, but my friend has them on his 1964 Vette and loves them.

I have 2 Goodyear Eagle GT IIs (255/60/15) and 2 Goodyear Eagle STs (255/60/15). The STs are discontinued but two were newer so I didn't need to replace them yet, but I think I'll be getting two new GT IIs this summer. I like them a lot.
