Default 400rwhp daily driver guys, what wheel tire combo you running?

315, 255, 275, what brand and make? Lets hear what you got or maybe what you wish you had done. I am talking about good weather tires no snow tires or tires that see a bunch of rain.

LET ME KNOW HOW THEY HOOK ALSO.

Bigs and littles... 28" DR M/T out back. I'm looking into getting some street wheels though... I really want some CCW Classics, but that is sooo much money. $2400 for a set... I spent less on my heads and cam. I'll keep an eye on this thread...

285/30/19 something er others, not sure what the brand is. They don't hook for **** but I also don't beat the car because it's a daily driver. my car makes 415 to the wheels with a 3800 stalled automatic.

I had 325/50/15 BFG's on it for awhile and those didn't hook for **** either.

I don't daily my car, but I do drive it quite often. I just want a more street setup to cruise it on, when it's time to race, the bigs and littles can go back on.

When I get my new motor done, I should be looking at mid-high 400's, and I'm going to keep using the same setup I am now. 335/30/18 Nitto DR's on my 18x10.5 deep dish C5's.

Nitto 555's 275/40/17. Do not hook from a dig but from a roll when the pavement is dry and warm they do good.

I have 315 gforce KD's. They hook second gear on a good surface and work great in the rain.
