What tires to buy?!
 

Hey everyone...I'm looking for a good set of tires (just 2 for the rear) and I was wondering what does everyone suggest? I dont' really want nitto's tho...i was thinking bfgoodrich comp t/a's??? if anyone has any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it!!! thanx

I forgot to mention...It's a daily driver(in the spring at least...garaged for the winter) so street racing tires...

i would say grind your fender lip, and slap on a pair of mickey thompson 28x10.5 et streets.

Kumho Ecstas are a great choice. They have a great treadwear, nice tread pattern, and they stick really good. It only takes about 20min driving to get them nice and soft. They are cheap too. I think 255/40s go for $125

Go to www.tirerack.com
245's are like $105. They are really a great tire.

Falken!

They hook like crazy and they look awesome! I am posting a pic of my 275/40/17.

well
 

so far the bfgoodrich's have held up.i have a couple of buds that use the same tire and there happy with them for durability, try a 275/40h, the only draw back is there a hard tire so launching is hard without spinning.

I have the BF Goodridge Comp T/A Radial tires (not the drag radial) and I'm not thrilled with them. They are great for a long lasting tire, but as far as drag (street or track), I'd opt for a Nitto drag radial. I've heard a lot of good reports with them. Long life and unmatchable drag performace. Some people I've heard lay down 1.7 second 60' times with these tires.

Here are my meats...

HEY, I went Toyo Proxes T1-S 245 45 17"'s AFTER my FALKEN blew out on me at 110 km/h.. They weren't z-rated Falkens, and they sucked, so if you go Falken, please go Z-rated or don't buy them.. They just aren't stiff enough for high speed driving !

I've got the falken ZIEX Z-rated 245/45 17's & like them, got a 2.22 60' time on the track. Cool looking, too! I want to put stickier tire son next though to lower my 60' times....thinking nitto's for my 17" rims, but I have an old couple of 15" rims(10-hole) that i may put the 'drag' tires on....My tire man said the Kumho's are the best way to go on the street right now! Good luck! later!

Kumho Ecstas I have 245's and they dont hook up at all with the new parts on the car.

My tires, the kumho escstas. they have nice tread.

this is what they look like on my rims...

Another shot...
