    The choices keep getting fewer and fewer. Firestone has discontinued the Indy 500.

    I just bought these and LOVE them 245/60/15 they where $130 each

    They get lots of looks as they are not on every car out there

    They look good. Checked their site and they also offer it in 275/60 x 15 and 295/50 x 15 for larger size in the rear.

    Those tires look really good.I should be getting my new wheels from Steve Caruso anytime now,and am looking for new tires.Where can you buy a set of these tires?

    Both SUMMIT and JEGS stock them.

    I am considering them mainly because of the smaller white lettering. I like it much better than the larger lettering on most tires.

    The sad part here anyway, is the almost dried up supply of Radial TA in 15''. 235/60/15 and 275/60/15 are like "Hen's teeth."

    I love the BFG's
    255 60 15 on all corners
    Discount Tire had a special - $100 off a set of 4 tires. So these cost me just over $500 installed and balanced.

    Look great Ryan! Anything but BFG crap ! To bad about the Firestone's. My Favorite Radials were still Goodyear ST long since discontinued :(

    I also went with the BFGs because of the classic RWLs. I put 245/60 X15s on the front since they are the exact same diameter as the original G60s were (26.5"). I put 295/50 X15s on the back on Steve Caruso's 15 x 8 Ralleyes. They are really fat meats but are the same overall diameter as the fronts and fit nicely in the GSs wheel wells.
