looking for some good tires


Hey guys i need some advice...

Its time for some front tires on the front of my 89 GT. I want to get a good set of street tires that are reasonably priced. I've got some 16 inch ponies on there now 225/50/16. They look really small as far as aspect ratio on a stock suspension. any one have any good experience with certain brands? any help would be appreciated.

brand is so subjective to what your looking to get out of a tire. i will just point at the cheapest place i have ever found to buy tires. OnlineTires.com - Discount Tires, Custom Wheels, Rims, Goodyear, Michelin, Cooper Tires . i have bought a few tires from them, including the general grabber at2's i just put on my ranger. not gonna lie, for the money, general makes a damn good product.

Tire rack has General Exclaim UHP's relatively cheap. I have them on my 2002 GT. Decent summer tire with good reviews and they look "agressive" if that matters to you. My 91 GT has some Falken ZE-512's that I got for $60 each shipped on clearance at discounttire.com but I don't think they make them anymore.

How do you use the car?

Do you need an allseason tire, or can you get by with a summer tire?

Do you take corners agressively?
