Didn't it have Eagle STs before? If so, it should be nice replacing tires that are older than Wayfast. :)

i just put yokohama geolander tires on the wife's jeep. i gotta say, for the bucks they cost they are an outstanding value. check http://www.tirerack.com - that's where i got them.

Those will soon be my next set. They got a ton of great reviews, and the price ain't too shabby.

Nothing the Continential/General Tire Company makes is FTW. FTCheap maybe, but no FTW.

cheap tires are usually soft compound and don't grip too bad. my buddy pulled a 2.2 60' with a VW on general tires. and then had trouble pulling 2.3s with a pair of high-line tires.

i have nitto extremes on my camaro now but i can't wait to ditch them for a set of Falken Azenis :drive:

and soft compound tires tend to not last that long... i'd be interested to know why you are dumping the nittos, tho. i had them picked for the '87.

Conti/General are not FTW, they are FTBS (for the belt shift), which turns into FTPC (for the phone call) FTW (for the warranty), which will be FTD(for the denied.)

Fuzions are great. I have a set on my Lumina, and it in the rain it seemed like I was driving a whole new car.
