BFG - 255/60x15 front, 275/60x15 rear.

Better than the Goodyear RH from Discount Tire they replaces, which were better than the Dunlop GT Qualifiers they replaced.

'93 corvette sawblades with firestone firehawk sv-50 = best street combo in my opinion. working on a picture for my signature but still need to resize my pics. :cool:
race set up is 'circle wheels' speedway wheels with dayton indy light "take-off" slicks (used tires). hooks like stupid glue on the track! :jester

Firestone Firehawk SS-10...

Don't buy these tires (I think their discontinued anyway)... They are "S" speed rated!... Now that the vette will go 160 mph (?) with the 383 rebuild and the great overdrive tranny... the tires wont go over 112!!!!

Do they have anything going for them.... Yes, on Memorial day, check the Firestone tires on the indycars... They label 'em Firehawks also...

Really? I though they sucked at the dragstrip. My 235-60-15 bald radial t/a's had better traction. The short sidewalls on my KD's surely cannt help traction.

225/70/15 radial BFG T/As on my '75.
When these wear out I'll be switching to the 245/60/15's from BFG next.
