actually what do people think about the firestone wide oval tires. since my 1/4 mile will never be over 130 plus i feel i dont need anything expensive but want a better traction tire for the track as well as good for the street. i looked them up on tirerack for 1lt tires.

I like to go to tire rack and punch in the sizes on my tire, then a list will pop up with all tires that match that size. From there I narrow down to performance tires, and then check out the reviews, test results, and surveys.

It seems the choices are BF Goodrich, Firestone, or Goodyear...
The Firehawk Wide Oval AS's are supposed to be really good... Also the BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDWS are supposed to be amazing as well, but those are a bit pricey IMO.. If I had your car, those would be my choices.
