I have a 72, and 15x8 Rally wheels. What would you suggest is the best tire for street driving, not driving at the track.

Thanks

I am good with my BFG Radial TA's. Likely not the very best performance tire but work well all around on the street.

On my 80 I ran 255/60/15 in both BFG T/A and Firestone 500. The Indy 500's had a better ride, better traction, handled better and were great in the rain. Still not a performance tire though.

My '72 wears 235/60R15's on 15x8" rally rims. The tires are the BFG Radial T/A's and they're just fine on the street.

Hi 72C3Vette,

I would say the BFG T/A's are a popular choice for street driving. There are not too many options to choose from in a 15 inch performance tire any more. Fewer manufacturers are making 15 inch tires these days. I've personally decided to upgrade to 18"x8" wheels which allow for a much larger selection of true performance tires. Just my opinion.

I have BFG's on my Corvette and Firestone "Indy 500s' on my other hotrod. The Firestones work way better under any circumstance than the BFG's, but for some reason the same size Firestones are noticeably taller than BFG's. I have 255/60s in the back of each car, and the Firestones look tall and skinny compared to the BFG's.

What I'm saying is that if you want tires that look cool, get the BFG's. If you want tires that handle and ride the best, I recommend the Firestones. BTW, I'm keeping the BFG's on my Vette...

That was my choice for this summer.

Mickey Thompson's are my next tires for replacement because they are cheap and everyone else has BFG's. Just wanna be a bit different.

Don't think you can find those any longer. I looked for them.

Thanks everyone...I went with BFG Radials... If you are looking for a good deal merchants tire was 585 installed before tax. For me it was 615 out the door.
