I would have no problem going with either brand of Good Year or BF Goodrich tire. I am running BF Goodrich on my Street Rod and like them. They look great and ride nice. One of the Company's I will not recommend especially for the older Corvettes are tires that come from Diamond Back. I have had problems with them that they would not make good on. I can never recommend them to anyone ever again as I have in the past. They don't stand by their tires.
You know if I was on the other Corvette Forum I could not say what I have said here. I would of been repremanded and given a time out or banned from said forum. I laughed the other day when that (Yo Yo) Moderator (SaveWave) from said forum recommended Diamondback Tires to a Corvette Forum member in a Thread about Coker and Diamondback tires. Don't forget Diamondback is a Supporting Vendor over there at that forum. As I have mentioned in the past the Supporting Vendors tell the Moderators what to do over there. I know I have been there. Diamondback complained about me informing members of the problems I have had with Diamondback. I was told that I spoke about it too much by SaveWave. Well when someone would ask about them in a Thread I would tell my story to them if that was too much. I guess I was suppose to shut up never telling anyone about my problem although it was never resolved. Then again I am not feeding that forum like DB is in what ever the forum charges them in advertising fee's every month. That will never happen here.

Im looking at either B.F GoodRich or Good Year for my 1996.
Which is your personal favorite?
I had BF Goodrich on my 32 Ford Streetrod and they were great. I have Yokohama S-Drive 225/50X17" on my 65 coupe. They are very performance rated. Like them also. I have also had Goodyear Eagles and they were good tires.
