Yay new tires!!!

Just got my new BF Goodrich Radial T/A 255/60R15's from Tirerack. Now I just need to get the rims cleaned and painted up and I can get them put on! Can't wait. Only took 3 days to get them, too.

Re: Yay new tires!!! (Blankman)

How was the price compared to let's say..... Discount Tire? And is there any kind of road hazard warranty offered? And if so... who will honor it?

Lots of questions... I know. Did I happen to say *Congratulations!*? :cheers:

I got those too! Haven't driven on them though, working on the brakes and rounded the front steel tubes :rolleyes: :p: I just went with the regular size though.

You will like them. I think they ride pretty darn good. The best thing about them IMO is that they are the classic muscle car tire. They just look good. :thumbs:

Re: Yay new tires!!! (Blankman)

If you get them put on today you can break them in at the drag strip tonight with the reat of us. See the message in the Mountian - Prairie section with WIR in the title.
We hope to see you there, even if only to watch the rest of us make fools of ourselves.

I bought my BFGs from a local tire shop. They matched Tirerack + $10 (I think).. that was close enough for me. I also bought a set of Dunlops for my driver from Tirerack. Had them mounted and balanced at a local gas station. That worked out great and I would do it again. :) I never buy road hazard insurance... I have pulled plenty of nails out of my tires and had them plugged. If the sidewall gets damaged you need a new tire. :( MJ
