best dr's for a dd
 

well i have heard that some dr's only last like 4,000 miles (m/t) and other misc. bad thing about others. i dont drive my car in the winter. but i would like to get some miles out of them and be able to drive in the rain. also how big can i go on stockers? -thanks

depends on what "stockers" you're running. 1f you have 17x9.5 wheels, i would say 275's to be safe. you CAN not run a nitto 315 on a 9.5 inch wheel. There is much speculation about this. Some people have, Though, this is NOT me recommending you to do so. Check the sticky section. as for 16x8's, i think the recommended size is 255 or 265.

i run a 315-35-17 nitto DR on my car. This is on a 10.5 inch wheel. Tread life is amazing. I have a couple track days, and probably 5K on them, and they're still 60-70% tread.

The Nitto's wont grip quite as good as the BFG's or M/T's etc. but will last significantly longer on the street and work ok in rain so I would suggest them for your needs. I personally run 255 M/T's on some 16x8 salad shooters and wouldn't think you could go any bigger than that and be safe assuming your stockers are 16x8 as well.

+3 on the nittos...run them on my 69...alot better traction than a reg tire...wont hook so good u break stuff and handle good in rain and on hwy...

i would say nitto dr's. i ran those for a street tire for a long time. good in rain. tread last alot more then the bfg's. thats just my personal opinion.

nittos for sure if your dd the car but weekend car m/t all the way

thanks guys. yeah thier 16's sounds like its nitto all around so i'm going to pick up a pair. thanks again.

any rear shots?

How long do the bfg's last? I put at the most 3k miles a year on my car. I dont really want to run M/T's because I dont want to be buying tires once a year, but I want a tire that will hook.

m/t'S

M/T for a weekend/ or nice day car. Heard the Hoosier DR are kick ass to.

Since you said you want them for a dd and to be able to drive in the rain, definitely the Nitto's. I ran Nitto DR's on my car for around 30k miles and I drive 600 - 700 miles a week. Rain was no problem. MT's or even the BFG DR's are NOT tires you want to drive in the rain regularly.

nope sorry, look just like 245's.

Nittos lasted on my car with a 408 for about 16,000 miles, the BFGs only got about 5,000 miles although they did hook better but were absolutely terrible in the rain.

DD /track 2-3 times a year,one set nitto' @4200 miles, one set nittos @ 3200 mles , one set MT' @1500 miles all were 275/40/17, MT hook best not good wet
