Lend an opinion on these tires?

Im trying to buy tires for my 88 camaro. These look really nice but the only issue I'm having is figuring out if the tire is going to be thin.. I dont want a thin tire on my camaro. So I was wandering since the tires on my car are 225/60/15 would the tires I order be the same exact size tires; If I ordered the same size as I have now. Here are the tires..

Re: Lend an opinion on these tires?

Technically they are the same size but from years of experience in the tire biz the Falken brand runs a little skinny on the actual tread foot print. BFG has one of the wider foot prints on the market. Plus, if you're worried about dry traction the Falken is good but not great.
