Re: Kelly Springfield tires....any good I put a set on my '96 Camaro and was so impressed with them I only put about 8K miles on them. But to be honest, I had a lot of trouble with the stock steel rims being warped right out of GM supply house.
I finally went w/aftermarket wheels and new Bridgestones and the problem was solved.
They are still sitting in my shed. Hmmm, I need to try to sell those things.

Re: Kelly Springfield tires....any good I really don't have a comparison point, I guess, since I was having rim problems. Also the '96 was a V6 5 speed. Traction and handling was okay for that car:how it would compare if the same tires were on my Z28 would only be a guess. The tires did seem to have a stiff sidewall and were somewhat noisy. Kuhmos seem to be good bang-for-the-buck, although they also have stiff sidewalls and can be somewhat noisy before being warmed up.

Re: Kelly Springfield tires....any good Their pickup truck tires and farm tractor tires are decent. Can't coment about their performance tires though, never tried them.

Re: Kelly Springfield tires....any good I heard the Kelley Springfield's are much better than the Rick Springfield's.

Re: Kelly Springfield tires....any good I have Kelly Chargers on my 1970 Trans Am.A couple of years ago I had to buy new tires and the stock bias-ply tires and stock Rally IIs had to go.Went to a local tire store and started to inquire about T/A Radials.One of the guys that works their said that he uses Kellys on his Mustang that he races.He then asked me what do I want,smoke the tires or traction.I said traction he told me to get Kellys.After that I put on American Racing Torque Thrust.They hook up great and look good too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
