Firestone Affinity IIRC. They are one of very few 205/70x15 tires available with whitewalls. They squeal on slow, tight turns due to the limited slip. I am considering replacing them with Avons or possibly Mickey Thompson 215/70 ST tires and adding whitewalls from Tredwear or one of the suppliers. We have used the 215 Mickey's on another 289 and they worked well.

Ross took the car out on track Saturday for the "parade" laps and said the tires felt better than he expected.
