im thinking of get them them for my 370hp rs. will they hold up on the street.

pros, cons....

Not intended for winter.

 

Well if you were going to put them on a stock everyday 305 thirdgen I would say yes, go ahead. But, since your car has almost 400HP and I would assume you are doing some spirited driving I would not recommend them. Radial T/As are a cruising everyday tire, not a high performance. If you want performance go with a summer performance Z rated tire. I have Goodyear eagle GS D3s on my GTA, awesome grip.

 

i have them and they're pretty sweet. while turning i can punch it, the tires will spin yet i'll maintain control. i doubt you'll be able to control it with that much power compared to a 160ish horsepower 305.

i have the firestone indy 500 firehawk tires. now those are some amazing tires look into them. i have them on my 2000 Camaro.

 

yea thanks, im looking for a meaty tire kinda like the radial t/a but i guess with better performance. ill look into those tires.

 

do you use the stock wheels?

if you have the 15s then

Im not a fan of them. They dont hook up that well and bf's overall have a rougher ride

 

I can break 'em loose if I really try with my 305, lol.

Great looking/cruising tire though.

 

both them and the Goodyear GTs sucked back in the day when I had a 2nd gen, and nothing has changed with them.

Many many many more better tire designs and brands out there.

Really impressed with the Fuzion HRIs I got now but my top 3 brands are

Dunlop, Dunlop and Dunlop

 

indys look good, hows the hookup. i just really like the way the bf look but somtimes thats not good enough

 

the hook is pretty good, i have the low profile ones and a friend of mine has the ones with the taller sidewall. pretty sticky, i even did ok in the snow

 

I use the BFG G-force T/A on my 630rwhp RS as my street tire (255/50/16) and on my IROC and can honestly say they arent the highest traction tire, but with loads of smoky burnouts they last really well! I dont know about the ride... Both cars have a terrible ride, but the cornering abilities are worth it! LOL!

 

if you had to pick a 295/15. out of the three which would you pick?

On my 15 inch wheels, I have run the BFG Radial T/A and the Dunlop equivalent. They were both raised white letter and did just fine. I like the mileage that I get from the BFG. They last a long, long time even with my abuse.

On my 16 inch wheels, I have run Cooper Zeon and Sumitomo HRT +. They grip wonderfully in my 245/50ZR16 sizes. I have also run the BFG Traction T/A and like them just fine.

As to the original post, I love my BFG Radial T/A tires on my 15 inch wheels, 235/60-15 size and they don't let me down. I don't seem to get any more performance on my cars going wider than 235 on my 15 inch wheels. Maybe with wider wheels it plants them better?

Hope that helps
