        Jim,
               I agree with Gary, I run 275/60-15 on the rear and 
225/70-15 on the front. Those BFG's were perhaps the best upgrade I've 
done so far, they make the car drive real well and it has the look I like. 
But everyone has different taste, good hunting.

Re: Tire opinions?







Thanks Gary, Steve,

BFG makes a redline in partnership with Coker.  See link below.  Maybe
a little pricey though.
