Default Have 600$ to spend on a set of tires (305hp as of now)

I just want tires that can hook when I gun it at a light. I have 600$ to spend on a set but I'd like to stay lower than that. I know the 555r's are supposed to be the best but they're a bit pricy and I don't think I need them for my power right now. My tire size is 245/45/17.

Try looking into the Yokohama s drives, I've had 2 sets now and can't complain.

I would recommend Summitomo HTR Z III as your best priced option. I also like BFG Gforce Sport Comp 2.

Nexen N3000's. Best tire for the money IMO. I have them and love them.

This.

I got my 315/35/17s for $385 shipped. They hook very well on my cammed stalled Z and they have good tread life
