I am so happy about these tires being available. They RWL looks so good with Monza Mirage and the tires that were on it were just way too old! Only allowed for a static display. Once I get to Florida in a few weeks on they go!

The car had 18 year old Firestone Firehawks on it when I purchased it. They were a bit "lumpy." :D

Looks fantastic! How's the performance of T/A radials in the rain and when cornering hard? Need to replace my Hankook's soon and I'm thinking of trying the bfgoodrich tires.

I bought a set of 4 of these but have not mounted them yet but back in the day they had regular TA's and Euro TA's ( slightly softer compound than regular TA's) and Comp TA's ( very sticky compound but short life). I had a set of, (actually still have mounted but they are old and down to the wear bars), Euro TA's on my Monza and they handled great, did some really crazy high speed hard cornering until I determined that if a tire ever failed during that cornering there wouldn't be enough of me or my car to scrap up off the ground. So I decided that type of cornering, although really cool and invigorating might not be something I want to do with regularity.
