Hey guys,<br><br>It's about time to put some new rubber on my bird so I thought I'd ask you guys about it. What size tires are you guys run'n on your birds? Right now I have 205 70 R15s on it. Is there a better size, something that will improve perfomance without new rims? I was think'n maybe 205 60s or 65s, but I don't really know much about tires and what will fit on what car.<br>Thanks <br> Power

i have a 95 tbird and i have 215/70/15's on the front and 225/70/15's on the rear my car handles really good right now. if you put a 60's or 65 series on your car it's gonna knock your speedometer off and you won't know exactly how fast you're going.<br>rob

I prefer the BF Goodrich Comp T/A HR4 225/70 HR 15 all the way around, the sidewall is a bit tougher so the handling will be better! All around quiet ride and not too expensive! I really like them until I can get some bigger rims..and maybe better tires

Nope, no rubbing, I was never told that and have never had that problem, keep them the same all the way around for better rotation. The BFG's also usually go for 65 a pop, so they are considered the poor mans performance tire...talk to you later
