Question traction problem (stupid tires)

Hi guys,

what is good for me in street racing !! my tires suck (TOYO) !! I need something good like slicks, if I roll from 40MPH the car is drifting to right or left and wasting it's power in that !! what fits for my car !! specially the weather here is hot and humid most of the times.... the rims are 16's,the mods in my sig.

I need tires that give me good traction.

i'll be glad to take some advice from you ,,

is ur car a daily driver or do u just bring it out on nice days? is it a stick or auto? this will help people pick a tire for u. even upgrading to better true street radials will make a world of a difference. Like BFG KDWs or Michellin PS2s (both those tirs are a lil expensive but very good tires) or even what I have (which I absolutley love) Avon M550<---$122 for 275/40-17. IMO if u have a stick and it's ur DD then I'd go with nitto DRs if u still have the stock 10 bolt. Nittos will last longer (tread) if u care about that. If u have an auto and it's ur toy then go with Mickey Thompson DRs. These tires do not last long. If u want even more tread wear than Nittos then go with 1 of the 3 tires I listed first.

man those toyos must REALLY suck if ur spinning with ur mods at 40.

Your not going to find a long lasting sticky tire, but a set of Nitto 555Rs should last around 15,000 miles atleast that how long the 2 sets I have owned lasted.

just get Nitto Drag Racing 555s can't go wrong with them and they are going to last you long since you dont drive your car as a DD. They won't spin off a 40 mph punch
