they are sumitomo. they look good, but do not perform all that well. however they are cheap, really cheap. So that is good. good for a mild street car, but even on my bolt on car 1st gear is useless always and 2nd gear is a crap shot, hell sometimes it spins 3rd gear somehow now my car should not spin 3rd gear ever(dry conditions obviously)

wow, a bolt on car spinning 3rd? those tires DO suck. but, if your car is a daily driver, I wouldnt want to put any other brand 315 on there anyway. Theres Sumitomo at like $107(I think), than the next brand jumps up like 200 bucks. So whos cares about on the street, I just hope you dont try to use them at the strip
Very nice looking car by the way. I like the early 4th gen camaros better than the 98-02 ones I think

Car looks good, I cant say that I have ever seen those wheels on an F-Body b4......Do you have any more pics of it? Those will probably be the first 315's that I put on my car because they are really cheap and I dd mine, so DR's are never going to be an option for where I live.

This is the best angle I got. Also running Sumitomos, good DD tires, bought some cheap 16" stocker rims with MT radials when I want to hook.
