Hello guys!

So I have a GT tribute with very old BF Goodrich G Force tires. 205/60/15 in the fronts and 225/60/15 in the back. I LOVE the stance I have right now.

There doesn't seem to be any good options for a staggered set with the same compound tires. This is a car that rarely gets driven in the wet, is not tracked, but I do put about 3000 miles a year on it.

I have a slow leak on my LF and need to purchase some replacement tires.

So what is everyone buying these days?

Hi Ben,

Just looked on Firestone's website. I see 205/60/15's but no 225's. What specific tire are you running?

I just went and looked they are firehawks and was a bit wrong on size . I run 195/65/15 and 215/65/15s on my 15x7 and 15x8 which was a stock size on a 85 Carrera base wheel and tire option
