New Tire Recommendations

HAHAHA I wish I would get 3k out of my Nittos. Guess I need to chill out a little.

sounds like you want your cake and to eat it to. You'll get 10k out of nitto drag radials no problem but as far as hooking good well thats a joke. My car doesnt hook bad on nittos but doesnt hook as well as it would with a good tire. I've gotten a 1.88 out of my nittos but know a 1.7 is there with an et street drag radial. If you are dead set on nittos check discount tires ebay store. I got my 275/40/17's for under 150 a tire shipped (285 for both shipped). I have just over 5k on my nitto's and havent had a flat or anything. That being said i will never run them again. No need for a 10 to 15 sec burnout just to get the tires to hook somewhat. I cant stall my car up much at all before i blow them off (1500 is the max i've hooked at)

I'm simply looking for something to hook up a fair amount better than these street tires I'm running right now.



When I was checking out Nitto's site, I noticed a warning on the 555r's and sub 32 degree temeratures. Is there really a big problem because my mach is a DD and it does get parked outside. I know it's not below freezing here much in Phoenix, but it will see those temps.

i heard the BFG DR's are great. i was looking at the KDW 2's but i do need traction so im still confused as to what to get.

I would use the 275 40 17 in a close to stock car to cut down on the rolling drag coefficient.
