What Make of Tire are You Using?..

[Brock Samson]

well i done wore out my Dunlops doing burnouts the last couple weeks..
and I'm open to suggestions as to what you may recommend as a high performance tire...
I am familier with the Dunlops GT Qualifiers of course having used them exclusivly since the mid '80s on all my cars and vans.
(save the 300 M on which i have Continentals)..
  So,..  Good Years, BF Goodrich radial TAs,.. Coopers, Kelly Chargers..etc. what ya' runnin?..
  & what do you suggest.... (prices would be nice too, the GTQs are aprox $ 109.oo per tire)..

  Thanks in advance...
  Strat!

Ive got Daytons Daytona SR on my Charger. Nice tire would be Nittos

I haven't bought a set of performance tire in ages. The last set was for my wife's Mustang GT, a set of Cooper Cobras which were fine. Been buying Coopers for several other vehicles over the years, including my F-150 & a Pathfinder I had. My Scamp has a set of el cheapo "blemished" tires, called "Regal Sport" or something. Got them for $45 a piece like 15 years ago, at Mother's Performance on Rte. 46 in NJ.

I do like the Goodyear Eagles with the yellow lettering, they look cool to me.

I use Kelly Chargers for the heck of it.

I'm a bit biased cause I sold bridgestone firestone tires for five years...I put bridgestone potenza g009's on the wife's subaru, great all around tire. $130ish...Firestones Indy 500II is super sticky, decent handling and has kind of a square shoulder, that I think looks good on a muscle car. $100...Cooper makes a great tire, best snow tire made in my opinion. Their cobra line looks great. and if your looking for a tire that spins easy and smokes a lot, they are the best. $120

check out TireRack.com they test and rate all the tires out there. good web site for research.

BFG Radial TA's, but mostly just because of the look and the price.  They are okay for a performance tire but they are far from being the best.

[TruckDriver]

I'm actually thinking of buying Dunlops GT Qualifiers for mine this coming spring. I like the lettering on them. Either that, or Firestone Firehawks. Every Firestone I ever had has lasted a lot of miles with no complaints

Radial redlines

(Bridgestone) Fuzion ZRi's

i've been driving the R/T for the past week to work and home,..
Going is slow as i hit the school kids (not literally  ) as they are getting out of school,.. 
but going home i take the "long way" home, a secret route i wont divulge here, just in case... anyhow the lights on this industrial Blvd. which is empty of traffic at midnight are timed for 35 MPH,.. so, by doubling that i hit em all just right..
I've been having some adventures there as i'm not the only motor head blowing out carbon...
  So  last night i was finally stopped by the fuzz who said "We clocked ya doing 40 in a 25...  slow it down"... 
I saw them early and had slowed it down... they were really nice about it and seemed to understand. I think they just wanted to see the skunk...

whew...

BF Goodrich Radial T/A's. They are a good tire for the price.

[Neal_J]

BF Goodrich T/A's on the Charger and Goodyear Eagles on the Olds. 

I prefer the ride of the Eagles to the T/As.

Mastercraft Avenger G/T. They ride and handle very well and for around $65/each. I also ran Firehawks on my '84 Ram and liked them alot as well, dont remember how much they cost though.

[Brock Samson]

i went again with the Dunlops, found the exact same tread design that's on there pretty suprising since they change them so often and it's been 5 years but i'm gonna hold off on mounting them though till i compleatly use up what's on there...

I do like the Goodyear Eagles with the yellow lettering, they look cool to me.

I don't think they make them anymore.

I once put on a set of "Caliente" tires on a leased corolla I was about to return. $150 for all 4, out the door. 

[THE COLONEL]

BF Goodrich Radial T/A's. They are a good tire for the price.

Same here.  I have had nothing but the best experience with B/F Goodrich Radial T/A's.  I have used them for years on all of my cars, not just the The Colonel.

[MGBRingo]

I run Goodyear bias ply on my Charger.   Not performance of course but I like the looks.

I also run Mastercraft Avengers on my Fiero GT for the last 6 years and like them a lot.  Do a lot of spirited driving with it as it holds the corners extremely well.  The tires do very well.  And the price is good.

[Khyron]

Dunlop GTQ on mine....

I just love the look.

[myk]

BF Goodrich Radial T/A's. They are a good tire for the price.

Got them here also, raised-white-lettering turned inside, of course...

[Dans 68]

BF Goodrich Radial TAs   

[Brock Samson]

no ones got prices?. or sizes?. too late now anyway,..  i was just wondering.. thanks anyhow.. 

[deputycrawford]

I run T/A's in the front, 245/60-15. Cost around$75 ish each. The rear has Mickey Thompson Drag radials, 275/60-15. They are around $160 ish a piece. I'm on my second set of Drag radials in three years. They hold the road surprising great in the corners. Never skip a beat in the rain, and I air them down to 14 psi at the track and hold 1.8 sec 60 ft times. I will probably never run anything else. I only get about 2000 miles outof them but I wouldn't trade that kind of traction for anything.

I will not run a BFG until they figure out how to make them round , one of the worse tires I have used or seen on a consistant basis
Nitto has a great drag radial

Yup, A tires quality can be measured by the amount of weight it takes to balance it.
