I carfaxed my jeep before I bought it. Showed clean and then I took the bumper off and found it had been punched in the passenger side nose.

The Firehawks are $600 for a set of 4 shipped to Cleveland with Road Hazard, and I'd get a $70 mail-in rebate. Are you sure you're thinking of the right ones? They have a lot of different Firehawk tires (here), but the one's I'm talking about (here) are the #2 rated summer tire on TireRack.com. Other sites give them outstanding reviews, too. If you don't like them, can you tell me why and what you would recommend? I'm off to work. Eager to find out what you think when I get home tonight.

Summer tires should kick *** in wet weather, both handling and wet braking. They should have larger tread blocks=better dry pavement performance. Firestone is Bridgestone's medium level tire. You will probably like then if you get them but that's because you haven't driven the better tires.

Toyo Proxies best tire I have ever driven on, but you have an odd ball size apparently..... Hit up the 3rd gen camaro or f-body forum and see what they are running.

I always used BFG Comp T/A's on my go fast cars (2 600+ HP mustangs and a 300 HP Civic). Good grip, good treadlife, decent price

Check out the Bridgestone Potenza RE760. 4 installed $607 or the BFG G-Force Sport $635

This is the BFG. I don't have a 760 in stock.
