i got the BF Goodrich Advantage GTs for my front wheels, much better than what i had before. i can even hook up better on wet cement then my old tires on dry cement...maybe not, but huge difference. i think i will get them on my rears tomorrow..

They don't have any in 15" size. I think it's 17" and up.

Those tires are simply bada$$. They're the only tire with a tread rating of over 140 that's NOT allowed in the STS autocross class. Which means that SCCA had decided at some point that the BFGs give an unfair advantage over street tires, akin to the Hoosiers, Kumho Victo Racers, and Nitto Drags (which have tread ratings of 40-50). Now does that give you an idea of how good they are?

I just got a set of the Comp T/A's. I like them a lot so far, but I had Toyos before, which were bare, so anything would be an improvement. I got the H-rated to save money, but am still enjoying them a lot. I'm anxious to see how they hold in winter...they're pretty good in rain.

I decided to get some new rims with tires instead of just getting tires for my stock rims. I think I'll get some 17" Konig Tantrum wheels with the 235/45ZR17 BFG G-Force tires. I think this setup will look good on my car. I don't know if this is a good setup when I go drag racing, but when that time comes, I think of something. Maybe putting some drag radials on the two front stock rims.
