Help me choose, I can get a good deal on any one of these through my uncle so it doesnt really matter about prices, which ones will work the best for my application? I have 420RWHP and plan on getting more with a re-tune, ive got a set of DR for the track, these are for maximum performance on the street, anyway, here you have the choices:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
245/40/ZR18
295/35/ZR18

Pirelli PZero Rosso
245/40/ZR18
295/35/Zr18

Nitto NT555
245/40/ZR18
295/45/ZR18

BFG KDW 2
245/40/ZR18
295/35/ZR18

The car is a 2000 Trans Am with hotchkis lowering kit, the wheels are 18x8 and 18x10 inch torque thrust 2's, any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I have only owned the car for about a month and came from the minitrucking world, I do no know much about the high performance tires, also, if there are a better set, let me know, he can get almost every brand! thanks in advance!!

I'd go with the BFG's, the Nitto's are too big for the rear. 295/45/18's are like 28.4" tall.

I really like my BFGs, but I would think the Michelin tires would be a better tire. I just didn't want to pay the price of admission.

well he said that the michelins would probably be better, granted they cost more, but that doesnt ALWAYS mean they are better. The 295's are like 390 a piece or something like that lol michelin

I paid like $100 less than that for my KDW 295s... lol That's what Meent was sayin' about the price of admission, and I agree... haha

side by side according to tirerack.com the michelin gets better ratings, of course as stated before they are a lot more money, but this is not to be considered, if you could choose between either one and money was no issue, would you still stick with your bfg's? or go with the michelin, I had the bfg's on my car before, they were only 265's though, i couldnt get good traction at all, sure the 295's would help with having more rubber on the road, and i Love the looks of the bfg's, but i am afraid, is this a situation where you get what you pay for?

For, me I'd go for the Michelins. I thik the BFG's are noisey.

Honestly, I couldn't adequately answer that question without first running the Michelins so I could make a fair comparison.
