Need new tire advice

Packrat · 06-16-2001, 03:56 AM

Hello folks,

This is my first posting here, and need some simple advice.

My wife's silver '96 GT is in need of some new tires. The original Firehawks (P225/55ZR16) were VERY noisy and we want to avoid that this time.

Both Goodyear and Michelin replacement "performance" tires run about 170 to 180 dollars each. Were are looking for something in the "less that 100 dollar" range, but can't seem to find any .55 aspect ratio tires that fit the bill. Can anyone recommend something that it quiet. M/S is not important. This is just a summer car used occasionally. Thanks.

Ron N.
