Can someone please recommend a decent all around tire? It has to be a 245(or 255)/60/15. I will be participating in a few different events. Hopefully an autocross, a track day, and maybe a road rally. The car will be driven to these events. Unfortunately I am on a budget, I would like to keep it under $500 for 4 tires (not including shipping if needed). Also, I'm not all that concerned with tread wear and top speed ratings. These will be my first performance driving events and I'm sure I will be moving slow enough for it not to matter. I have searched the web and the obvious places and cant find anything other than BGF radial T/A.
Thanks
Zack
$500 total or for each tyre?
I would start with Tirerack.com
Also depends very much on your location - in some places (like out here at the edge of the desert) you can get away with running stuff like RA-1s or R888s in the summer, thanks to the absence of rain.
If you're somewhere with more rain you'll need tires that are better in the wet...
I'm in michigan, and coming up on fall season we will get all kinds of weather out here.
I'm a bit confused, you start off asking for an all around tire, and then seem to be asking for a track tire. Is this car going to be a daily driver, a dedicated autocrosser, never see the rain?
The car will be dedicated track/autocrosser. I will need to drive it to these events. Also, I am considering participation in the Press On Regardless Rally. It will not be a daily driver or even a weekend driver for that matter.
I ordered a set of cragar soft 8 rims today so I can get into the 17" tires. There are endless tire options in that size so I can find what I need. I know the wheels will be very heavy but this is 79 firebird we're talking about. Weight isnt much of a concern. Besides I cant afford the wheels I want at the moment. So these will have to hold me over for the next 2 seasons.
