Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
BFG T/A's are on "The Toy" and "BIGBRRD".  Real happy with them.
 
Lots of folks have also spoken highly of the Firestone Indys and Firehawks.  The only set of Firestones that I had good luck with and really liked they recalled a few years ago.

Vette(s): 1971 Blue Roadster, sb400, cam, electronic ignition,10 disc CD changer, 2.5" chambered exhaust, 3.36 rear,tremec 5 speed from Classic Chevy, fiberglass rear spring and vintage air.
Indy 500's have been great in wet or dry. With 22 to 25lbs air they ride good too.

Vette(s): 73 coupe bought new in 1973 with only luggage rack, AM/FM radio, HD battery & Maplight as options. L48, 4 speed, Paint Med Met Blue 922 interior Dark saddle 418 special order. Repurchased 4/1/06 after 24 years.
I bought a set of Sumitomo H rated tires in  OEM size 225 70R15's for about $45 each off tirerack.com  I like them a lot!  Had them up over 100mph with pretty good tracking.  I am working on my steering components right now though.  Also I bent a valve hot rodding it over Thanksgiving weekend, so now the left head is off also.  I should have her back on the road in a week or so with manual steering, and a new #3 intake valve.

Vette(s): 1978 L-82 Silver Anniversary hotrod. /////////////
Tail-of-the-Dragon ruined my old BFG TAs and I went with Firestone Indy 500 Firehawks P255/60 R15s in raised white letter. Not cheap, but great handling and grip. Look sharp too.

Check 'em out here;
