Default Ordered new tires

Ordered a set of BFG Radial TA's for my 15x7.5 Convo Pro rims for a daily driver tire.

Size I ordered was 255/60/15. (27 inches tall)

Should work well as a daily driving tire and hook "half" decent. I run skinnies on the car full time so I am looking for something that'll do well in wet weather and get good mileage out of them.

The 27 inch tire should fill out the wheelwheel pretty good as well.

I'll have pics up tomorrow

Here are pics

255/60/15 BFG Radial TA's

Pics aren't the greatest view of the tires but you'll get the idea








Just a reminder, be careful with new tires LOL! I went to merge on the highway and IGNITED the tires for about 60 feet in third at 70mph.

I think I should have done a little burnout with them first to "cure" them

T/A's are hard and wear very good but they dont hook...I have the T/A 275/60 but I'm going to switch to a 275/50 M/T DR soon as a street tire.I only drive my car 3K a yr at best and the M/T's hook like glue..

I'll have 26.1 rears and 25.8 fronts...
Should be perfect...


Car looks mean Frosty....
