wow the tires from Sumitomo are only 91 bucks are you serious about them being that good patrick ?? I was thinking i would be the 1000 doller area for a set of good tires. that would be GREAT if those tires are as good as you say they are

KingJoe I can speak for them as well I have them on my 87 and love them. 275/40/17 on the front and 315/35/17 in the rear.I need to get off my lazy butt and do a product review.

I have 275/40/17 Sumitomo tires and they grip and handle great. Great tire for the money!!!!

DO NOT get Firestone. I had a set on my '81 and they were TOTAL CRAP! When the street was even just a little wet I would spin all over the place.

Goodyear F1GSD3 tires. Fantastic tire at an affordable price. They are probably the most under rated tire made today.

I love my Kuhmos on my 87. I think they were $525 out the door, tax, mounted, lifetime balance and rotation. Big 'O' was the tire dealer.I think Discount Tire has them also.

I have hear alot of good things about the Sumitomo tires and for the money you cant go wrong, also check out Kumho. A store like discount tire or tire rack will be a good source to checkout.
