Best tire setup for 87 GT (Stock Wheels) (Page 3/3) AmphotEric MAY 07, 07:25 PM quote Originally posted by cvxjet: Just checked on Tirerack; They have the Riken Raptor HR in the original 205/60 and 215/60 sizes for a total of $380. You can have them delivered to a local shop- usually Big O. Do not go with BFG Radial TA- back in the 70s and 80s they were a great tire- but now they are for the car show guys who don't do much driving and don't care about performance. The other good option is the General Altimax RT43....They are lighter (Which will improve performance)- but they are also more expensive by $80 I wanna do the larger size, so the Raptor won't work. I was considering the AltiMax, however I'm pretty sure that they're all-seasons that are more catered to winter. I'm not sure if they'll be a good option- what are your thoughts? olejoedad MAY 07, 08:25 PM I run all seasons on my cars, they work well in the wet and in colder temperatures. In my posting I explained that I got the FUZION rears because I needed the tires that day, and could not wait for something to be ordered.

In my posting I explained that I got the FUZION rears because I needed the tires that day, and could not wait for something to be ordered. I saw, just wasn't sure if they made them in both sizes, because I've had no luck so far. I have the ability to grab the Ohtsu fp7000s (not sure how similar they are to yours). Based on what you know & your experience with running all seasons, would you recommend them, or look at the General Altimax instead? cvxjet MAY 08, 01:24 AM I have used General tires on my Fiero quite a lot over the years (37)......I actually have General G-Max on my Fiero now...But I do have the AltiMax on my van...Believe it or not, I have drifted the van through a few cloverleafs. I outran a dumb kid in a riced-out civic on a windy road, also. No, they are not the stickiest tire- but they are much better than ANY tire you could buy in the 80s. Originally, I was running 215/60-14s on my 85 SE V6......I switched to 205/60-15s up front and the steering feel and easy of steering at low speeds was improved...Later, I switched again to 16 x 7s with 205/55 and 225/55 size tires. I can scare the absolute crap out of anyone riding with me with how quick my car can get around a turn. olejoedad MAY 08, 06:45 AM quote Originally posted by AmphotEric: I saw, just wasn't sure if they made them in both sizes, because I've had no luck so far.

There are better tires out there than what I currently have on my car. I have heard good things about General, Continental and others. From experience, Cooper makes great tires, and I will likely go with those when I buy new tires for the Formula, but they will be 17's to fit the summer wheels. cvxjet MAY 08, 12:05 PM I checked out Coopers before my last Fiero tire purchase; They are heavy like the BFGs....General does make a G-Max (The G-Max RS) that is a summer tire. General is owned by Continental, and both companies make tires that are lighter than most and perform as good or better than other manufacturers. Just checked on TireRack; In my rear size (225/55-16) the General G-Max AS-05 weighs 23 lbs while the Cooper Zeon weighs 27 lbs...That is 4 lbs and mainly out at the edge so it would have a huge effect on performance.
