Anyone have an idea on a good brand of tire of performance and daily driving? I have the bridgestone potenza 215/60R15 on my 80 malibu right now but I'm not sure what is a good tire anymore with all the brands out there.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. www.tirerack.com they have great reviews and I personally haveing owned both think they are a much better tire than the BFG radial TA. Many use 235/60/15s all the way around as a same height upgrade from the stock 215/65/15. They are raised white letter but you can also run the blackwalls out.
I like the g-force sport but it is a summer only tire instead of a all season plus the biggest size it comes in is 225/60/15 and its $96 per tire at tirerack whereas the firestone is about $20 a tire less. I would take the Nitto or the M&Hs or the Mickey Thompsons drag radials over the BFGs. Just my thoughts
I've had Kelly Charger's on a few of my cars and have been pleased with them. The only reason I didn't get them for my wagon a few months ago is because the local outfit had a better deal on BFG Radial T/A's, so I got those. Would've been cheaper if I went to TireRack, but I figured I'd give my profits to my pals at the old shop I used to work at instead.
Blake I agree better to buy local when possible. Tirerack isn't unbeatable just great info online.
I like my Coopers Cobra Radial G/Ts. They are a good price and ride good to. Thay are kind of the same as bfg radials I beleave.
I like the bfg radial TA for everyday and also the dunlop GT Qualifier. Had good luck and long life with both brands
hankook, kumho and cooper all make good, cheap tires. if you want a performance tire, see how much general UHP's are. i have them on my DD and they're friggin great.
