Best wheel/tire combo depends on how much money you want to spend

Well the best would be a 15 inch wheel with a nice M/T radial on the back.

The 18" ET Street Radials would work really good, but you cant beat a 15" wheel/tire combo.

if you don't drive your car that often then get some 18's but if you do drive your car often then go with a drag setup and some M/T's

hey all i have pretty much the same question. I need to buy some new rubbers for my 2000 z28 its got some mods right around 415 to the rear tires. right now it has zr1 wheels on it with 315 35 zr17's on the back and 275 40 zr17's on the front. I put about 5,000 or so miles a yr. i looked at getting some M/T street radial II's for the back and nitto 555's for the front. i do hit the drag strip about 5-10 times a yr but its mostly a daily driver, i love carving corners!!. any thoughts on a good tire combo??
