what is a good tire size/type? Whats a good sticky tire that is good on the street? I want something that has good wear life also and not ourageously expensive.
I have the stock size 16 inch wheels with the stock wimpy 245's
Whats a good tire size to move up to that wont be too big but look pretty aggressive as well as grip good in the spring/fall/summer.
btw its a 1996 firebird Fomula

got a set of sumitomo's and not too impressed, they are suposed to be "extreme performance" with a 380 treadwear and it will still go sideways on a conservative launch.
PS. they were the only ones i could afford that were available in the sizes i needed, for some reason i wanted them all to match, now i'm wishing i would have got the nittos for the rear.
