time for new tires for '96 Y87 bird, suggestions greatly

"Yes, V6Bob is wrong. The Eagle RSAs only come on Z28 Camaros."

Yep. My bad.

"btw my current tires are Goodyear Eagle GA touring, 235/55/16, M+S (what does M mean? S is for 112mph speed rating)"

M+S = mud and snow. Sometimes the passes in Colorado are closed except if you have snow tires and tires stamped M+S meet the requirement. The letter for speed rating is put in the size specification, like 235/55SR16.

I bought the Firehawks for my 96 bird, and haven't logged much mileage on them yet. Went from stock size to the 235 55 16 size. So far, I am really really happy with them, but I've only had the car a very short time (6 weeks, 4-5 hundred miles). Im happy, but you know, ignorance is bliss!! (I did buy them with tireracks' blessing though.

I am seriously considering the Firestone Firehawks, but my mom is a bit worried about that fiasco Firestone had with Ford Explorers... and some friends also told me to just stay away from them just in case. What do you guys think?

sweet! How much miles did you get with them, with what kinda driving style? [img]smile.gif[/img] btw, I am talking about the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, because I just saw that Firestone has an entire line of "Firehawk" tires. I really can't find much info on the Indy 500, I guess it just came out not long ago?
