15" Tire Brands
I will be looking for a set of 15" tires with raised white letters to fit the theme of my 72 lemans street car. It seems like there are only 4 options:
BFG Radial TA Firestone Indy 500 Goodyear GT II Mickey Thomson ST Any reccomendations? I am more concerned with traction and performance than long tread life. Thanks, Mike |

I believe the Cooper Cobra is still available as well.
What kind of use are they going to see? Just mild cruising, aggressive cornering or acceleration, etc. The BFG T/A is an okay tire but it is impossible to hook up if your car has any kind of power.

The car will not see any racetracks, but I tend to corner and brake agressively. I will be taking the family out on cruises, and expect to drive to work on nice days.
When I had the car together I had Eagle ST's on it, and wore 1/2 tread in 10,000 miles. That was with a 350 2 bbl that would not spin a tire if it was paid. Mike |

I think any of the tires you listed will work fine for what you've got in mind. It just comes down to price and styling.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
