[QUOTE=ebo] [/QUOTE] Very good people, and prices. I've bought numerous wheels and tires from them. I had two wheels that I felt wasn't perfect. They told me that they would ship two others right away. They told me to leave the wheels outside so that the UPS guy could pick themt up as they left the new ones. UPS left the new ones but didn't take the other ones back. I waited about 5 weeks, then called to ask if they wanted the other wheels back. They were greatful, because they forgot about them. I was only paying for 4 but had 6. They sent UPS to pick them up. I even buy wiper blades from them.

Wow, thanks to all for the info and web sites.
Went to Tirerack but they said the 255/60 15 would match and gave no results.
The ncrs book said my 70 came with either Goodyear or Firestone tires.
Also said 235/70 15's. That's  a taller/ narrow tire correct?

Looks like the car wont be coming home for 2 weeks anyway.
I got time.

I'm always the odd man out with Coker Redline Radials. They are BFG Goodrich made for Coker tires and ride / look great.

They might look good on a red car. Just one word of caution with them though. Be prepared for the Iove / hate those tires comments. Every car show I entered I heard them. Funny thing.... both comments made me smile......    Tuxblacray2009-02-28 08:45:32

did u decide on what your gettin'?

I have been consumed with getting ready for a race in Phoenix this weekend!
Once I get back I am going to pull the trigger on something.

I really like the looks of them BFG Radial TA's.
But I will look at the Firestones also.
I have the Firehawks on the car right now but they really dont float my boat.

Hello everyone!  Just a quick one to say that I put a set of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s on the '78 PC yesterday.  Originally had BFG TAs on it, but they were of unknown age - pre DOT - and jus time to replace before this year's events.  Paid $452 for the set at a Firestone store. 

Check with Firestone. Sometimes they have a sale. Buy 3 get 1 free.
I have the 255-60 x15 Indy 500 Firehawks on my Vette. Handle really good in the dry as well as in the rain. Yes we do have rain in the NW.
FYI: when you get the tires installed make sure you ask the installer to line up the "DOT"  letters (on the casing) with the valve stem. The tires will balance much better and you won't have as much weight in each wheel.

John, my money goes to Firestone.  I had a set of those recalled tires (mine came from a different factory and weren't recalled, but were the same model) and they lasted just shy of 100,000 miles!

I agree with Marshall. IMO  the Firestones look better, last longer, and will definitely  give you more bite than the BFG's.
