What would provide more traction,

1. Sumitomo HTRZ - 315/35 17
2. Falken Azenis RT-615 - 275/40 17

On a full weight daily driven vehicle?

I realize that this should go on wheels and tires, but I wanted feedback from people with daily driven turbo's...

 

Neither, you'll need drag radials for any kind of traction with a big turbo setup. Even then you could still be outta luck with finding some traction on the street.

 

Et Streets

 

FWIW I could spin the **** out of those Sumitumos at over 80MPH.

 

FI + street tires = no traction

Better get a good DR like the BFGs or the MTs

 

Mickey Thompson finally released the 315/35/17 drag radial, that should be one hooking tire.

 

 

id go with either a 315 nitto 555r or the 315 bfg dr

 

picture is from SSmokin 01, but i am picking up mine this afternoon. should be good

 

i want to see what those will do to my 10 bolt

 

Man they changed the tread pattern..... is that what the wait was all about?

 

exactically what i was thinking... looks like a nitto.... and the rubber looks to shiny to be soft..

 

are those mickey thompsons to wide for a factory rim

 

Definately. You need at least a 10" wide wheel for that tire. Would be best on a 11 or 12" wheel.

 

that figures i bought some factory wheels for the 275 17 tires now these come out. what wheels are you guys using for that wide of tire?

 

i'll be finding out after my wheels get here Monday. my 9inch fund is going to be tapped into real quick.

 

I had my factory wheels widened.

 

My car hooks like a ***** on the street with 335 Hoosiers. They aint cheap, and they don't last long, but they HOOK! (1.5 60' times) I can smoke my 315 nittos from a 50mph roll (for comparison).

 

what size rim are u using those 335's on?

I have 18 in 305/35/18 Nitto Drag Radials for street use. you can't hook from a dig but they are a decent tire to get around with and will hook better than any regular tire out there while having decent tread life and you can drive with them if it gets wet out unlike the BFG's or M/t's.

 

What rims 10 to 11 inches wide are you guys using for street use? I want to buy two wheels for the rear for the drag radials when i go to the car shows i just put my good wheels back on.
