Rate your 15 inch tires

[Got the Bug]

I'm not sure you'll be able to find to find the Avids, since Yokohama stopped making the 15" tires.

You might want to do a search on tires on CC and read through all of the previous threads. A lot of it depends on personal preference and what you plan to do with the car (street only, street+track, track only).

If I was going to replace my Avids, I'd probably lean towards the Avons ($$$$) or the Micky Thompson's. The Billboards sure look cool and perform, but have some negatives.

Best of luck with the search.

garry Viohl Garry I have 2 sets of pin drive wheels. 15" and 17" On my 15" wheels I started with BFG's because everyone was running them. They are an average tire. IMO ok for dry street cruising anything more and they start to slide. Forget about wet weather driving at highway speeds. They are great for drifting and burnouts. I run GT Qualifiers on all my cars. They are a softer compound and still live go life. I have driven them in 10" of snow, heavy rains, 2" of ice and very happy with them. This is on a 79 transam. I have no real info on the Yoko, Avons, or Kummos. A few of the guys love the Avons. For 17" wheels I run the Pilots. Great all around tire. The best looking tire on the cobra is the GY bill boards. There are some issues with them being Bais belted and not radial umless they have come out with a radial. If you call GY, they are selling nascar tires cheap after this last weekend of racing at Indy. Rick L.
