The only thing that there is probably more controversy or even disagreement on then tires is a camshaft?
If you are outdriving BFG's on the street then probably the car shouldn't even be on the street or you should be personally restricted to just driving a race car on a race track, period.
I'd recommend 225-50-15's on the front even with removed spring spacers.
I've got Pirelli P7's on my car. If you want to talk about a crap, slick, hard running tire, look no further. Under 40 degrees F, they turn into banana skins. You can spin them like slicks doing a water burn out.
That has to be the worst overpriced tire on the planet.
Avons are probably going to be the best performing tires but one of the more expensive.
I have no idea what you would need to have on the car in Europe to be legal to go a zillion miles an hour on any road under any conditions.
I mean like if you work two miles from home, you definitely NEED to go 200 mph at the very least, right?
I should point out that before the advent of the V and W tires, the BFG's were being used often as "wet racing tires" here by more then a few race teams.
That maybe they are a little slick in the wet is simply an indication that in the rain, YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN!
YIKES! How did you guys ever get drivers licenses? Do you have some sort of "legacy" consideration over there that they automatically have to give you a license because your parents had them?
