Default Tires for turbines...Suggestions!!

I have been doing research for tires to put on my turbines for pretty much street use but to be able to get some grip when I need it too obviously. I'll prolly be getting 245/60's but I am open to suggestions on size and brand.

I've thought about the MT Sportsman S/T's

and BFG's radial T/A's

What do you guys suggest??????

ive heard alot of good things about the goodrich's. My friend had them on his goat and he got some good tread life and good grip (sufficed for his puny big block 350)

another tire to look int is the toyo proxes tourings (sp) ive read up on them and they seem likes, personally i like the touring set up on tires b.c they do well in wet and dry

If you plan on smokin the hides a good bit the BFGs are good because they are cheap. I'll be running them all the way around on mine for street and Goodyear slicks for track duty

Sounds like a plan on the BFG's and 50 series. Hell I might even go with a 255 if they have them. I don't have a chance to look right now

i would just go with the BFG's since they would last a little longer since you talk about driving it on the street
