BFG Touring T/A

I don't drive fast or crazy with my car. I have these tires on my car right now and they seem to be pretty worn. They were like that when I bought the car. I really drive conservatively and these tires are H rated. Do you think these are ok?

Definately. Those are some good tires. The "Euro" part is really for the sizes. They offer different sizes then the Radial T/A. Also, the Radials only have an "S" speed rating. To answer your ?, it depends on how worn out, and cracked they are. Are they holding air? If so, and they have some tread left, they should be ok for a little while. But if they're pretty worn, think about a new set.

P215/65R15 The stock wheels are no longer on my car (91' Firebird LO3). When I bought the car, they had some Eagle Alloys on there. 15X7 Sounds stupid if you ask me. Why would anybody put smaller rims? But I like the finish on them and they look good on the car so I left them on.
