Default What tires to choose???

Alright, i just sold my POS s/10 blazer for some decent tire money Now im trying to decide which kind of tires to get for my 2000 GT. Has the 6 banger factory rims 225/55R16
I was looking into the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport good price and great ratings...anyone else have any good brands?

Im looking for a good street/strip tire, no all season or anything like that...i have a 98 Ranger for the winter (as i live in good old PA ughh) so im lookin for a good summer performance tire good on the street and at the strip. Any recomendations????

I love my Riken Raptors on the street, but I haven't been to the track yet so I dunno how they'll do. They are made by Michelin.

They are super cheap too, especially if you are only getting 16's. (I just found them for $60 each for your size...)

I have 245/40/18 and 275/35/18's on 9 and 10" rims. They are the absolute smallest I would go! I paid $600 shipped for all four tires from Tire Rack in September. They have great traction and great reaction when I hit the turns. I would like to put those 275's up front and get 315/30's for the back, but they run $600 for the pair????
Great tire for the price. They were rated #3 in their classs when I bought them. Super quiet on the road even at 140mph! KDW's are chaos on the road...yuck

Thats with the g-Force sports right???? I heard they were really good and pretty much replaced the KDW's as they're not as easy to get ahold of plus more in cost. Anyone else have these tires??
