Scorcher T/A's on my SS/SC

I found 4 Red BFG Scorcher T/A tires in the 225/40 size.

I was thinking about buying them for my SS.

Anyone got any opinions? I don't want to look stupid or ricer.

I too would like to know how they'd look on my red SS.

Could look great Cody, could look silly. Maybe someone could photoshop something up?

My mistake, I thought these were the tires that were 100% red. I know I've seen a pic, forget what brand they were...

Those BFGs look fine, get them if its a good tire.

those tires suck asssssss!!!! i had em twice both times they were the worst tires i ever spent money on they handle like crap and they constantly lost air.... both sets all 8 of them. bf said ya we know about that well send you a whole new set and geuss what same deal.... then they said send the rims to us to be checked and we will install them... ok got them back and same deal. if the car sat for more than like 1-2 days i would have 4 flat tires. and dont let them say they handle great they slid all over and in the rain they were like ice skates.. sorry but dont buy these worst $$$ you will ever spend.. i own a shop and sell rims/tires i refuse to ever sell these in my store!!!

There are many better tires out there.... Toyo T1Rs, Mich PS2s, BFG KDWs, or even Falken RT-615s.
