Hey guys,

I'm lookin for a set of tires for my 80' TA with 15x8 snowflake rims. Right now I have BFG radial T/A's and wasn't very impressed with them. A buddy of mine just got a set of Firestone Firehawk SS20's, which has the highest rating at tirerack.com, for his 86' Monte SS and he really likes them. I am thinkin either getting a set of the SS20's or Comp T/A's.

Tell me what you think, I'm open for other suggestions on brands and models.

Thanks Again

I've had the SS20's on two differant vehicles now and have been pleased with them. Good traction in the rain and appear to wearing great.
Will most likely be putting a set on my Formula when the one's I have now wear out (They are the Firehawks before the SS10's or SS20's came out ).

Hmm, I for some reason don't want to get firestone tires after hearing all the stuff with Ford and their recalls, but if they get such high ratings, who knows. I myself have BFG Radial T/A's, I can't compare them to anything because I went from stock worn tires to these, so I saw a huge difference. My bro has Kelly Chargers on his 81 Z28, and dear god, they are terrible. I went to tiretrack as well, and the michelins look good, for a higher price though. I am also wondering what people use on their cars.....My father has Coopers on his 66 charger, although that doesn't seem to be a big name brand, or popular at least. I am still skeptical about firestone, a big red light hits my brain every time I hear that name....

Edit: Hey bandit, you're from ridgefield? Ever heard of the town of Easton or Redding? I am from Easton, I have not been to any shows this summer, because I got my car running at the end of August, but do you ever go to the Marcus Dairy shows in Danbury? Maybe next season, I will see you there!

cant say much for the ss20, but i can for the comp t/a's and bfg's. over stock the bfg's are great. handel great look good w/ the raised white letters. the comp t/a's are just awsome. forget about driving in the snow. in the rain the are on par with the bfg's. low speeds they ride a bit rough but highway speed they are very smooth. they will handle the suspension of second gen t/a's
