What is the best 315 x 35 x 17 tire for the money. I got two 11 inch rims. Or is there a better setup to go with the 11 inch rims????

I went with Sumitomos. Not a bad tire for $100 a pop. But some say they don't hook at all.

Na i dont have any pics right now cause i just got them, yeah i have 275 on the front. You can probably do a search on here and find some pics, i'll see if i can find some for you. I have nittos all the way around but the ones on the front aren't 555rs

Never go for cheap tires. Tires have the final word on many aspects of your car (handling, braking, etc).

More 'narrow' than others, but I've heard from a couple people that my car looks minitubbed when they're driving behind me with the nitto 315s

I have the Sumitomo's on my Camaro too, got 'em out of Ebay. Seems like a good tire so far, especially for the price.
