Are these good tires?
I got some Firestone Firehawk SS' 215/65/15 sitting on some American Racing Outlaws. Are these good tires for drag racing? I dont have the money for slicks atm but was wondering if maybe if theres a better brand or are these ok. Thanks

if those are you rear tires you will have NO TRACTION! those are skinny as hell! the STOCK size tire on 91-92 camaro and firebirds is a 245-50-16. If you want traction you need to go with a wider tire......exspecially with a 383 man! can you say tourqe?! The firestones are garbage IMO so go with somthing new. Discount Tire Co will beat any and all prices of any competitor go to them and see whats the biggest you can fit on your car.
