New rims...what tires?

[93formulalt1]

Those have some aggressive looking treads on them! I would hate to get run over by a set of those suckers! lol

[SS4Matt]

haha yeah. they're pretty cool looking! and they're a summer tire "Wet.Dry" so it should be good for it's duty!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I have always loved how those looked, how long they supposed to last? My buddy has the DR set of his Turbo WS6 and he says they don't last nearly as long as nittos but they hook better.

[SS4Matt]

yeah im not sure how long they last...im sure "driving habbits" will be the determining factor lol...but yeah i've heard the same thing BFG tires are very good on traction, but you do lose the longevity (sp?) of them...but hey if i gotta replace the rears every year...what's not too bad lol

[JoeliusZ28]

those are some bad ass tires man

[SS4Matt]

Thanks! i have had nothing but great results with BFG tires! so im going to continue with them! a few of my friends have the All Terrains on their huge ass trucks...and they love them...and i got the kDWS all season on my car now. great tire...i even got a set of them for my moms stang lol....so now im gonna "step it up a notch" and get some pretty good summer tires for my new rims!

[SS4Matt]

AHHHHHH!!!!! I about had a heart attack just a minute ago! i had ordered my wheels sunday afternoon from that "TomZwheels" and i know it's gonna be a few days till i get them. so i went to the website and checked under "My Account" and clicked on "my orders" or something along those lines.....it said "you have not made any transactions" i was like WTF!!!!?????
so i called the 1-800 number.... ended up talkin to Tom himself! i told him the situation...and he asked the card # and somethings...he's like "i have the shop phone forwarded to my house after hours. so lemme look on my computer and see what i can find".....ends up he's like "i remember those rims being shipped. you live in MI correct?" i was like "wow yeah" he goes "well maybe the credit transfer hasn't gone through...or hell maybe my website's messed up again" he's pulled up all my order Info and said they were shipped Monday morning!....i was very pleased to hear that!
anyways...bottom line. TomZwheels seems to be a pretty good place with some good prices!...i would recommend anyone to them!...just my 2 cents and story that kinda scared me at first!...Can i get a WOOT for my rims coming in soon!!!!

Great to hear that, and I'm glad you have found another reputable place for all of us to go! In response to your earlier post, BFG tires are the sh**, I have them on my car. . . And on my Buick, and the Monte Carlo, and soon they will be on my pickup. . . lol Let us know when you get them!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Very sweet I'm awaiting pics.

06camarodude BFG tires are the sh**,

yeah i have good faith in them!... they might not be the longest lasting tire....but it's hard for a tire to last when your left foot falls off the clutch...and your right foot gets and itch so you just try stomping the itch!....somehow that deminishes tire life in a spectacular show of sight and sound!

[1bad83ta]

lol ya for some reason my back tires are wearing a little more than my front tires....lol or A LOT more....

[DETROITMUSCLE]

at least the fronts hardly wear at all so you only have to replace the rears, we all need to make a smoke show sometimes (every day about 50 times)

[93formulalt1]

Yep! We used to take the ol' Buick Roadmaster out and do burnouts and donuts in empty parking lots. . . 2 sets of BFG tires in a year. . . Mom was furious, but you couldn't slap the smirk off of my Dad's face! The BFG tires on the rear of my V6 Camaro have taken a beating this year too. . . I love squealing those tires! People think it's a V8 when the throttle sticks and my foot accidentally slips off of the side of that damn slippery clutch pedal. . . lol

I like the tires. Were you getting vette rims too? Maybe not. What do you guys know about Goodyears? Thats what I am looking at getting. Also will I have any problems taking the rims and tires off a a '95 C5 and putting them on my bird? The guy selling them works for a Corvette retailer and says they should fit just fine.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

They would work just fine if they mad a C5 in 95, the C5 vettes started in 97 and went until 04. If its off of a C4 vette I dunno, but I think they will work fine. If they are off of a C5 then I know they will work just fine.
