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

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

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.
