So can you still afford new tires after your trip to Vegas?

T/As and Good years are good, the Firestone Indy 500 is far better!
The overall performance, quite ride and is the best choice for standard 15 inch driver and moderate performance driving. They rate better (tire Rack)and my experience so far on my 82 is they are much quiter and handle excellent!
I have run T/As and Goodyears and think the firestones are far better if the car is using standard size tire in a street environment!

BFG for me. Very predictable in corners, fine on wet pavement. Low noise, OK comfort. Long wearing. Get comliments on the appearance.

I agree with just about eveyone else. There were BFG's on my '71 when I bought it. After two weeks, RF throws off a slab of rubber that destroyed the quarter panel and everything around it.
That's the reason I didn't go back with them. The dude I bought it fron neglected to tell me that set of 'new' looking tires were 12 years old! I replaced them with Goodyear Eagle Gt II's. I never liked them and didn't have to wait long for them to wear out! Replaced them with Firehawk Indy 500's. Imho...much better tire. They handle great and I will go back with another set.

I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...
