What do you recommend for replacement?  The Goodyear Eagle ST's are no longer available.  I don't want to go to a 15 inch wheel.  I am satisfied with the current tires, but am peeved at Goodyear due to having 2 of the 4 new Aussurance comfort tread tires that I put on my driver being egg-shaped.  I had to pay an alignment shop to find out why they would not balance.  Goodyear replaced them, but would have re-balanced them a hundred times if I had not got them diagnosed elsewhere.  Tires I like that are highly recommended start at the 15 inch size.  Suggestions please.

those are a good size also a good size would be 245/60/15 on 15 x 7 rims but if you want stock size go with 215/70 or 75/14-MATT

in circle racing street radials i never found a bf goody that stuck worth a crap (sorry dcg i think theyre over rated). pirelli makes great street radial tires. ive also had good luck with cooper, and general. but the truth is right now the goodyear regatta II is whats on the cars that win on asphalt, at least around here.they are a rigidly constructed case with good tread wear and exelent dry traction(i have no experence with them wet)  our cars are on 75 series, but i know the regatta II is avalible in allot of sizes. If it was me , i would go to a 235/60 but i dont know if they make those in 14s. im sure you already have wheels and prefer not to drop the cash on 15 inch wheels, but they do offer alot of advantages. i spent 12 years racing on tall skiny radial street tires, so ive learned a lil bit about them, this is my opinion and somebody else may say im on crack, but circle track tires have to accelerate brake and turn. im sure there are a milion tires on the market that will launch like a rocket, but most of them make your car turn like one also.

 :iagree: I have Radial TA's and I like the look and ride of them, BUT, very much agree with Chris on the traction part.  In fact if you read the label on them, you'll find their traction rating isn't claimed to be very high even from BFG.

I purchased those for my car, still not installed and don't have experience with them. I guess they should be fine for cruising around and occasional step-on.
