BFG Radial T/A all season?

Does anyone run these tires? how is the traction, i would love to just get the g-force d-radials, but don't feel like chunking the stock 10 bolt behind my 6sp., so i'm just looking for the next best thing for my 15/8 wheels, so i'm limited in tire selection, i was looking at these 2 sizes if i go this route.

255/60/15 or the 295/50/15 for a better foot print, but will it fit ok on a 8" wheel, or would i be better off with the 255/60/15s?

From the BFG website:

255/60-15 works on a 7.0" - 9.0" wheel, 27.1" diameter

295/50-15 works on a 8.0" - 10.0" wheel, 26.7" diameter

TheTire Rack user feedback rates the Radial T/A:

-dry traction 8.2
-wet traction 6.8
-cornering 7.6

By comparison, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 all-season rates 9.0 on dry traction, 8.4 on wet traction and 8.4 on cornering. The Firehawk only comes in 255/60-15. When you look up 295/50-15 the only tire beside the Radial T/A is the GY Eagle GT II, and that rates about the same as the Radial T/A on dry traction.

Those tires aren't worth a toot.

They feel like old tires from the 70's....
