Default Tire brand question

I'm loooking to get new tires on 91 LX Hatch. I have the original 16 inch ponies and plan on keeping it a street car.

What tires have you guys been happy with lately? In addition to brands, style/type would be helpful as well.

Kellys
BF Goodrich
Continental
Goodyear

Thanks

i just got some nitto 555 extremes and they hook quite nicely, and the 275/40's look pretty mean at the *** of my car too

you cant fit 275's on a pony wheel.... Everyone seems to like BFG"s g-force design as for size go with a 245-50/16

I like the Kelly charger 245 50r 16. That is what I have on my ponys. They hook good and look sweet and last a while too. Also they are only about 200 bucks a pair installed.

Thanks... I had some Kelly's on a car 15 years ago, they seemed like a nice tire.
