I have BFG's Comp TA Sports, I love them but mostly because they are the only sticky hi-po tire (summer tire, none of the M+S junk in Houston) available for this size. (225/60/15).  They stick like mad, but wet weather grip and ride quality isn't as good as the old Firestone SZ50 which is no longer available for this size.

I know the car sits high because there is no motor, trans, gas tank, exhuast and interior.

225/60's all around. I've got Hankook Blackbird V tires. Great handling tire and V-rated. Did I mention great price! Less than a H rated Goodyear, and quiet in comparison.

hey Brent, if ya can dig up a pic it would be much appreciated


Sorry it took so long.
After looking though stacks of photos for the "good" shots I had (but can't find), I could only come up with these two "candid" shots. I'm kind of embarrassed at the wheel wells. It looks like I just ran it down a dirt road somewhere.:(
