I am going to get TT2's 17x11 in the back with 315's but im not sure what tires are the best. I don't want to spend alot of money but i also want a good tire. Also what is the BFH mod?

BFH= big ****** hammer mod....you beat the inside of the fender well to fit your 11's without rubbing...i didnt have to and my car is lowered. you can get a sumitomo if you dont want to spend alot but i would recommend the bfg kd or kdw...kd is for dry traction adn and the kdw is for dry/wet. its up to you

Well it all depends on what your looking for in a tire. For a good street legal drag tire you can get BFG Drag Radial 2's for around 150 each. Beyond that your best bet would probally be a Kumho, as far as bang for the buck goes.

I don't need a drag tire really since I never drag race. I just want a tire that is going to be a good daily driver tire.

I had the Sumitomo's and they area very skinny 315. They are cheap and you get what you pay for. I don't think BFG offers a KDW in 315, but only a KD. Those are expensive. I bought a pair of Nitto 555R drag radials. They will last a ton longer than the BFG's. But the BFG has a much wider foot print. But that equates to tighter wheel well clearance.

I have the Sumitomo's right now , they ride extremely well...quiet and smooth without any rubbing...of course years ago I did the BFH mod to inner wheel well because of a different setup. I really like these tires for a daily driver.

this is a call for some nitto's.... some dr's for sure... decent traction, not overly priced and good milage

Nitto NT555R is the Drag Radial that 80% of people have on their 17x11's to my understanding

Oh ok thanks I will look into them. Any other suggestions?

*EDIT* I was reading about the Nittos and it was saying that they are for mostly drag racing and they wear very quickly so i don't if thats what im looking for.

I have the Goodyear F1 GS-D3's and really like them. One of the best tires I've used.

The Goodyear F-1 are somewhat out of my price range. Which would be a better tire for a DD. The BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial or Nitto NT 555R Drag Radial or Kumho that someone suggested above(I know nothing about Kumhos)

im gonna try the BFG KDs after my sumitomos

Kumho does not make a 315 as far as i know

here's my list from when I was looking

I included the KDW as it matches the KDs enough IMO for the fronts

shipping is per pair, where as price is per tire (Discount Tire Direct has free shipping but you got to add taxes * at least in Texas)

I did not include Nittos as they will only long half as long as a regular radial tire

and Discount Tire local Stores will match Discount Tire Direct's price

the goodyears and the BFGs end up being the same price

kny3twalker

iTrader: (31)

yup and the only other option is the Sucki-tomo's

02trns_am

So its pretty much between the goodyears and BFG's. Which one the the better tire for what i'm using it for? Thanks for all the help guys we have narrowed it down to 2 different tires.

im more partial to BFG tires, i've been running different types of BFG tires on my car ever since the stock eagle F1GS's went to **** (wait they were **** brand new?? haha) after a track day, (road racing track day that is) my friend literally had CHUNKS come off his good years, and i've never had problems like that with BFG's....

my $.02 is on the BFG's....i have had good results with them. and never been to partial to goodyear tires
