New wheels/tires

Okay, not new wheels, but new to me.. They are 85-92 standard 15X7 firebird wheels, but I just got a set of 245/60R15 tires around them, and they feel alot better and my previous 235/60R14's on my POS cragar SST's. One of the cragars is bent, so the wheel 'wobbles' and the tires were not balanced worth a sh*t so it vibrated at high speed. Now with my new tires there is no vibration, they run quieter, and they look better. I went to a different tire shop this time, and they are good. They pull the old weights off the rim, computer-balance the wheel/tire, check it for leaks, clean off the blue junk from the white letters, and heck, even give you a holiday card. The whole set was $325 after tax. Not too bad, they were even in stock. If any of you live around Garland, TX, I reccomend them for tires. Its C&M Tires, at broadway and Winn Joyce. Now I just need to get 2 more center caps...
