I am in need for a new set of tires for my stock rims, I want tires thatr will hook good and are good for everyday street driving. I looked on tire rack and found BFGoodrich radial T/A's for performance all season, 265/50r16, are these good for the track and wut types of speeds could these tires handle and hows cornering with them
thankyou

 

When you go to Tire Rack, click on "Survey Results" and you will see a numerical rating for "dry traction", "wet traction", "hydroplane resistance", "tread wear", "cornering", "road noise", etc. Look at the values for the BFG Radial T/A, then do a search on 255/50-16 and compare to those tires. You will find there are better tires available in terms of dry traction, wet traction, etc.

You can also find the "speed rating" letter for each tire. There is a guide on Tire Rack to what each letter means in terms of maximum speed.

If you are picking the BFG because it is the only "265" available, you might want to rethink it. It is an "all season" tire, and is not going to provide the same levels of performance as a "ultra high performance" or other such tire - particularly "on the track". The 265/55-16 will also be almost 1" larger in diameter than the stock tire, raising the car another 1/2" off the road, and throwing your speedo and odometer off by about 4%, if you don't reprogram the PCM for the new tire diameter. The larger diameter will also have the same affect as going to a 4% lower numerical rear axle ratio.

Depends what you put your priority on.
