Hey Guys, I just put new shocks, struts, bushings, springs, and tires. About $1200. The Tires are BF-Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW's. I went with the stock size (245-50-16's) They are Y speed rated up to 186 MPH. The car won't do it, but it sure will be fun trying! It was a little scary at 125 MPH with the bad old treads I had. Now I will try ad top it out, and see if I can bury the 140 speedo. Hopefully the pic comes out.

Am I looking at the picture wrong, or are those unidirectional tires put on backwards??? It looks like they are directing the water to the center.

Thanks OneFormula. Blue - they are directional tires and they are on right, the arrows on each tire point towards the front of the car.

I love new tires. I just got some Dunlop SP 5000's 2 days ago.. had the car up to 110 and no shaking at all. So comfy.

Thanks guys - haven't been over 80 mph with them yet though. I did look at the Dunlops too. I just ended up with these. I am sure the Dunlops are a great tire also.
