Re: [Chevelle-list] tire opinions needed

 Due to a tire being slashed I am in the market for a
 set of new front tires for my car. Currently I have
 BFG T/A's on it 235/60x15 front and 255/60x15 in the
 back. I am a fairly agressive driver but I am on a
 budget and need these to last a minimum 3 miles...

 BFGoodrich Radial T/A Size:235/60SR15 Price $68 per
 tire

I think the another pair of BFG's is the way to go because:

1) You get new tires on the front where they always seem to tell you that's the best 
place to put them.
2) You get to have a matching set of name brand tires all the way around, which is 
good for handling and aestetics. (and I hate no-name tires on good cars)
3) If you upgrade you still have s decent set of backups or something more sell-able 
because they're a matching set.
my 2 cents.

I used Tirerack.com to look at and compare tires for my Chevelle as well.
Include Firestone Indy 500's in there on the comparison and check out how
they compare with the others.

I went with the Firestone 500's myself. I haven't had them on the road yet,
but they sure look good. Warrantee and ratings are outstanding.

I have 235/60 R15 on front and 295/50 R15 on back.

Hi All
Due to a tire being slashed I am in the market for a
set of new front tires for my car. Currently I have
BFG T/A's on it 235/60x15 front and 255/60x15 in the
back. I am a fairly agressive driver but I am on a
budget and need these to last a minimum 3 miles...
By then I should be ready to upsize on this car. These
are some of the options I have priced out from
TireRack.com:

Yokohama Avid S/T Size:235/60TR15 Price $47 per tire
Dunlop GT Qualifier T Size:235/60TR15 Price $56 per
tire
BFGoodrich Radial T/A Size:235/60SR15 Price $68 per
tire

Any thoughts on these and any reccomendations?

thanks
