    My father in law sold a set cheap a few yrs back like 10 bucks along with boxes and boxes of other makes models. I wish then I had grabbed em up!

    I've always liked them, luckily they came on the car but I think you can still pick them up pretty cheap.

     :iagree:  I've run TAs, and they did not handle as well as other brands, plus they seemed to wear faster, which is a crazy combination.

    I love Dunlop GT Qualifiers, but they're only available in a limited range of sizes.

    I have seen them out of round by more than 1/4 " brand new & other problems  , virtually anything short of a wheel barrow tire is better  :smilielol:

    I've got BFG tires on my car. It came with them. I've seen enough posts over different forums with splitting and other issues that they will not be staying on. Michelen Pilot Sports are my tire of choice. Pricey? Yes. But is your car and your life worth a few bucks?

    I'm surprised they have not gone with a kevlar weave and steel belting. Maybe they have.
