I run futura tires on most of my stuff. they wear good, their cheap and have treadwear warranties. You give up a liittle handling to the expensive brands though, but I like not spending an arm and a lel on tires!

I love my Yokohama Avid S/Ts... $60 a pop or so from TireRack.com for 275/60-15 and 245/60-15.

FWIW, I've heard Pep Boys tires are all either Coopers or Yokohamas, depending on the tire.

Brother runs the 295/50/15's on his 74 GTO and the only thing we do not like about them is that they do not stick! But then again the 455 will burn about anything! I have not priced them in awhile, so I will compare them to BFG's and pick some up for my truck this spring and some 10" rallys!
