Lifetime MemberBFG T/A's are on "The Toy" and "BIGBRRD". Real happy with them.
Lots of folks have also spoken highly of the Firestone Indys and Firehawks. The only set of Firestones that I had good luck with and really liked they recalled a few years ago.

Indy 500's have been great in wet or dry. With 22 to 25lbs air they ride good too.

Vette(s): 73 coupe bought new in 1973 with only luggage rack, AM/FM radio, HD battery & Maplight as options. L48, 4 speed, Paint Med Met Blue 922 interior Dark saddle 418 special order. Repurchased 4/1/06 after 24 years.
I bought a set of Sumitomo H rated tires in OEM size 225 70R15's for about $45 each off tirerack.com I like them a lot! Had them up over 100mph with pretty good tracking. I am working on my steering components right now though. Also I bent a valve hot rodding it over Thanksgiving weekend, so now the left head is off also. I should have her back on the road in a week or so with manual steering, and a new #3 intake valve.

Tail-of-the-Dragon ruined my old BFG TAs and I went with Firestone Indy 500 Firehawks P255/60 R15s in raised white letter. Not cheap, but great handling and grip. Look sharp too.
