My local Perfection Tire sells Cooper, Mastercraft & Starfire tires, and got the Goodyears for my trailer; seems they just use different warehouses for what a customer wants. So far, I've run Starfires & Mastercrafts on a couple of cars that don't require leading-edge stuff, and they've been fine. Also have a set of Cooper Zeon summer performance tires on another car, and they've been excellent. In the past I've run T/As, Firestone Indy 500s, and whatever came on the various new & used cars, and rarely had an issue. Those that did are either extinct brands or really outdated like certain Michelin sports-car stuff.

I put a pair of 295 Streetsteels on the Cuda last year. Only because they were the cheapest 295s I could find. I just wanted a pair to burn up when playing around and didn't want to spend much money to do it. So far, they are okay. They were round and didn't take too much weight to balance. They are very hard, spin easily, and don't make much smoke or noise when spinning.

Yep. You get what you pay for, I guess. Maybe a bit more expensive tire would squall and smoke more. Maybe.

MT drag radials won't dead hook 100% of the time, so anything other than something with a wear rating of 000 are totally worthless for traction on the Cuda. So if they are gonna go up in smoke, it might as well be a cheap smoke show............Oh yeah, these turds don't even smoke much. Anyway, they were cheap.

I'm looking for something in 275 60 15. They all say something goofy on the side now (Milestar looks like Smilestar ), so maybe I'll use that or Hankook, just to be farby.
68 Roadrunner. 383 4-spd. Beat up.
