advice on tires for 17x11 wheels
need advice as stated please i just got 2 17x11 zr1s to match my 4 17x9.5- generals on the front and m/t radials on the back 2...i am looking for a all purpose tire in a 315/35-17 that will hook up ok for 400hp and corner good as you see i dont nessacarially need a drag radial but for example a nitto 555r will give me what im looking for then im ok with that...m/t's are the only drag radials ive ever own and im not fond of the squammy feeling when cornering.

I seen one guy had some Kuhmo XS's in a 335 and it looked amazing. Looking at the tread wear rating it looks like they would hook very well as street tires. May have to break out the mini-sledge though.

nitto NT555
i have them on the back of my ride and they are awesome. very firm in the corners (unlike the nitto DRs i had) and the traction is decent.
if you drop the hammer below 10mph you're gonna fry them. but feather the throttle a little and you're good.
i can launch at about 2200rpm and they chirp a little, and then feather the throttle to keep them planted.
although i'm looking at those NT05s for my new fronts....they look damn sexy!!

I vote the 555's or NT-05's. The NT-05's look to be the best of both worlds for what we need. Great deal right now on them, 5% off list price thru Discount Tire Ebay store, sale ends in 4 days, ordered a whole set 275's/315's for $700 shipped to my door. They will going on my ZR1s too, go for it bro, they look pretty sweet.
