Best tires for c5 rims on a 98 Trans Am I need some help. I am trying to find tires for my 98 Trans Am with C5 rims. I cant seem to find any place near me that has any tires that fit. What are the best tires for street racing and handle good in the rain. Any help is appreciated.

You probably won't find 275/40's at local stores unfortunately. For all my F-bodies I've had to order them and bring them to a shop. Our cars tire sizes aren't exactly super common. Just select a tire that's 275/40/17 with an all season rating and you should be fine in the rain. I've got Nito NT555's on my WS6 and they are fine in the rain. Even Summer tires will be fine in the rain you just can't race and you might slip a little if you gas it hard. Pirelli makes good all seasons too and I can't speak to street racing since that's for bad little boys and I would never do that. But if I did I would have beaten quite a few cars and gotten a road racing ticket, but I wouldn't do that.
