I am thinking off putting 225 firestone 500's in i saw them on a friends 80 they are pretty nice. He said they rode outstandingly well. I'll find out soon, I guess

Dunlop Qualifier GTs 255-60R15s

I'm getting in on this discussion a little late -- but I just put Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's, size P255/60R15 all the way around on my '69.

They handle and ride great!

HMMMMM. Tried to paste a photo in here but it didn't work.

i've been looking at tire rack, i'm still undecided between the bfg radial ta and the firestone firehawk indy 500, the firestone's have a better treadwear rating and much better response from previous buyers, let me know how the firestone's do. The firestone's are cheaper, and have a better treadwear rating which is good because i will only spin mine off.

Have BFG's on American Torq-Thrust D's on my 77.Awesome looks,great ride,great handling! Can't beat the price or availibility!

I have Pirelli Scorpion Zero 255/60 VR 15's on my '77. Handle great and are NOT noisy.

The VR speed rating is good for sustained 149mph.

I bought mine from Tirerack.com

ps. They are listed as a sport truck tire . This gives you a slightly stiffer sidewall which helps with the handling.

replacing mine with BFG TA's. Sam's Club/Walmart $69 + $11 for stems/balance/old tires

BFG TA's !

Hi!
I also drive a 454 (1971) and I also care about the speed rating. It took me a while to make up my mind about what tires I should go with. After reviewing all the replies posted in the plethore of threads on this very subject ,I finally decided to go with the Firehawk PV41 (235/70R15, V-rated).

I can't say whether I made a good choice yet, but if you are not in hurry and if you are interested, I will let you know whether I am a happy driver or not.
