Help me pick some tires!!
 
Just looking for rears, 275-40-17's. Going with a good street tire as I have slicks now, and really dont need a DR again. Here is what I was looking at.....

http://www.toyo.com/tires/index_frame.html Proxes T-1 Ultra

http://www.nittotire.com/tires_555.asp


All have a Tread ware of 280-300 and a W or better speed rating. Not sure on the price, but I assume they are all comparable. Just seeing what people out there have, use or like.

I would favor the Nitto, or the Toyo. Unless you want a longer lasting tire go with the Falken. I had a bad experance with the Kumo. Wore out way too fast, and no traction.
Good luck though

Have you looked at Yokohoma tires??? Take a look at 008's (I believe thats what they are.):confused:

Hey there i use the nitto 555RII i like the R2 over the R because they are not as much a drag as the R but they still grip like hell, i have them on 3 of my stangs.
