John/68 Barracuda & Dart
I`ve been sorting through a ton of different tires trying to find a set that would be a good combination of performance for street/strip/curves and look good. Initially I wanted to go with a retro look and I even thought of going with bias-ply tires. They look great and hook well but when it comes to ride and handling I don`t like them at all. After driving my Dart with the redline bias-plys to several shows I know that I don`t want to go that route. I`ve got BFG T/A radials on it now and they just do not hook at all. I was thinking of Nitto NT555`s but they don`t last long nor do they have a matching front tire. (15`s) I`ve read good reviews about Firestone Firehawk 500 Indy radial tires. They seem to do most everything better than the T/A`s but not near as good as the Nitto`s for traction. Has anybody used the Firehawk tires and what do you think of them?
