Here's a pic of one of the old ones:
...suffice it to say I kept it out of the rain for the past couple months but that wasn't good enough for my dad, who got so angry when he looked at them a week ago
I tried to explain that these tires have BETTER traction - as long as it's black tar. He didn't go for it...
Anyway they were BFG Traction T/A's and I was so happy with them. Great tires. Got a set of new ones of the same.
I got them for $105 each, installed. But when the car was up they said the fuel lines were bent so they replaced those for a couple hundred dollars. Gotta love ripoff mechanics. Anyway arguing with my dad who wanted to get the tires in the first place, I told him not to go there so he paid for it
I made this little thread though to highly recommend them - and I dunno, talk about tires and stuff too. I have a little habit of forgetting to rotate the tires, so I end up totally destroying the front (or back, be it rear wheel drive) tires of the cars that I own and drive. So yeah, over my past 2.5 years of driving cars I've gone through maybe ten or so tires - in about 40-50,000 miles of driving
These BFG's are the best by far. On my old New Beetle I put a set of racing tires on the front - with this very agressive forward-facing tread pattern, but I forget what they were... tires make a huge difference really, those made the car fly but traction sucked.
Sorry just a little rant..
