Now that the GOODYEAR EAGLES have been canceled in the 15" size I need to buy some tires quickly. When I read reviews the GOODYEARS only get 20000 miles, suck in the rain and have some noise and a harsh ride. The FIRESTONES get twice the mileage good traction even wet. Has anyone got actual experience in the rain w/ these two tires and tell me about your opinions please!!!

I have the Firestone's only problem I have is the name Firehawk. I wished they just said Firestone SS If I was to buy again, I would definatly buy the BFG. Al

Agree, BFG.

Sorry, but the Firehawks just don't look right. I was so upset at the looks I had the tires swapped to put the lettering inside. My next set is definatly BFG Al

I have BFGs on both my vettes and they just look and feel right. I don't really like the lettering on the Firehawks, looks too modern on a classic car.

I put SZ50 Firehawks on my '64 and '91. Best tires I've ever had on either car. They outhandle the Goodyears and are quieter doing it.

The Firestones are the best tires I have found for my 82.

Sounds like Firestone should put Firestone on their tires!

There aren't a lot of options these days for 15" rims. Looking at some myself, I found a couple others that aren't mentioned here. The Mickey Thompson sportsman S/T and for a more modern look the Maxxis Maraurder MA-S1 is unidirectional tire that is H rated.

I don't want 17or18" till I absolutely have to, I like the stock wheels!
