Which factory sized tired would you recommend for a daily driver? I'll be using snow tires in the winter, but for the rest of the year I'm thinking of all seasons. Which make/model tire would you recommend? Just bought an 88 GTA and the tires are bad

 

My recommendation -- you park the GTA for the winter, get some BFG G-Force Sport Comp summer tires for it in the spring and a $200 winter beater to drive in the salt and snow for the meantime..

 

Although I said daily, driving would be more of a weekend thing, thats why I'm not too worried about the salt since the car wouldn't be exposed to it on a daily basis, and I always try to wipe that crap off.

 

BFG G-Force Sport Comp

 

I just bought these. Cyber Monday sale!! BFG tires

 

Although 245/50-16 options are no longer hugely available, general web searches do produce more results than people would expect to find. Tirerack, alone, currently lists eight tires, six of which are Z-rated, one is V-rated, one is H-rated, and all seem reasonably priced:

BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2 (an excellent and popular choice)
BFG G-Force Comp-2 A/S (newer and gaining in popularity)
Riken Raptor ZR (lesser-known, but excellent--would be cool for a Firebird)
Riken Raptor ZR A/S (a new variant of their ZR)
Cooper ZEON RS3-G1
Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTZ A/S
Kumho ECSTA PA31 (V-rated)
Hancook Ventus V2 Concept 2 (H-rated)

Firestone offers the Firehawk Wide Oval A/S (also popular, particularly for Firebirds)

And Nitto offers two tires:
The V-rated NT555R has long been a popular tire for 3rdgens.
And for little-used, summer-only 3rdgens, there's the Z-rated NT01.

 

I run the Nitto V-rated NT555 on a couple of my 4 gens. 275x40x17"s though. Great tire.

 

i 4th the BFG g-forces. i have them on my 91. 245 in the front and 255 on the back

 

I plan on getting the BFG G-Force Comp-2 A/S for my daily driver when I get my new shiny 16" convex wheels in

 

I daily drove my '98 T/A with the 275/35-18 BFG Comp 2 A/S tires...performed well in snow.

 

Best ive had were Toyo Proxes.
