Like the title says.... Who makes the stickiest 295-35-18?

Im pushing alittle over 500rwhp and need tires. Dont really want to run 305/35 because they have alot of sidewall..

295s looks good in the rear when running 275 in the front

You can try Nitto, but if they don't have a decent size 18, I always had decent luck with a Riken Raptor for a street tire. Much grippier than a goodyear.

I really wish someone made something with an R compound in that size tire....

Never seen one in a 295. You may have to just go with the 305/35s or go back to 17's?

Nitto DR's or Michelin PS2's
both are sticky

Probably BFG's drag radials.

Doesnt look like Nitto makes that size in a DR, not sure about the PS2s.... I need to do some reserch on those.

I was looking at those... Not sure how good they are? Maybe some one will chime in having used those.

Im starting to lean toward the Nitto INVO or NT05

Probably not the stickiest tire but my BFG KDW's hook my stalled bolt on car although you do have a good 150 hp on me

The difference in sidewall height is .14 inches between a 295/35 and a 305/35. IMO thats not enough for me to notice a difference.

Nitto NT05's in 295/35/18....running on my car now and I have not yet broke them loose around a corner or in a straight line. Even with the cutout open and traction control off, when i floor it, it goes and sticks, no spinning. I only have long tubes, lid, and cutout. No where near 500hp, if you need a R there is the NT05R.

I would go with a 295 BFG Drag Radial. They have fantastic traction and offer better tread-life than Mickey T's.

Don't even consider traction an option with a 295 at 500+ rwhp if you're looking at regular street tires.

I have the BFG drag radials on my Cobra and love them as far as how they look, and the decent traction with them, but they don't last nearly as long as my MTs on my Camaro do.

FinalTouchDetail

That's amazing that your MTs are getting better treadlife than your BFGs. I saw exactly the opposite with my firebird going between BFG DRs and ET Street Radials.

youngrigo

But im going to be running 275 in front and 275 to 305 is a big diffrence.

youngrigo

Im starting to lean toward maybe a 265/35 in the front and 315/30 in the rear...
