Re: need better tires any thoughts????
Looking for cheap tires or not?
Pep boys has futura super sports that go up to 295/50/r15, or u can try the kuhmo's 275/60/r15(not sure of the height I think they are 60's) The 295's will fit but if u bottom out bad in your area where u live or shocks and struts arent up to par then u may wanna go with something alot smaller like the factory 235's. Because the 295's just barely clear and u may chance taking out some chunks, or u can cut the lip of the fender well. so they tuck under better.

at one point. I was really concerned about maneuverability
issues.. hence, why I drive a F-body to begin with..I like
they was the car performs under duress..
I had gotten a great deal on some Bridgestone
Fuzion Z-rated, P245/R16's on my Trans am now.
..I had some GTA rims, and cleaned 'em up
I am overly impressed given all four tires were
obtained and mounted for under $400.00.
I think under $400 for tires on our cars is
very cheap.. If I had more dough.. I would
have easily shelled out another $200 bucks
for some serious rubber.
Good luck, go hunt around
