DR's for us 16" wheel guys???
I don't see many options on DR's for us 16" wheel guys. The MT's are great but they only last a couple of months on the street and you can't drive on them in the rain. The NT555R I can only find in a 245/50r16 which isn't wide enough and the NT05 isn't available in a 16".
I have an M6 car so Mickey's will break my poor 10 bolt. I figured the Nitto's would give me a little more time with the 10 bolt (time to save up for a 9"). On the street I spin up to 3rd gear doesn't matter if I roll in or not. In first when I give it half throttle it breaks loose. Driven on the street 98% Drag strip 2%.
Help. Exhaust is on the way too and that will make it even worse.

Any new set of tires will help you out it sounds like. I have bfg 255's and when there new they grab really well, alot better than old ones. Now dropping the clutch is a different story but i haven't spun in 3rd at all on the street.

My car spins without dumping the clutch. Would make a great drift car. lol How are they in the rain? Are they too soft to drive 80 mph for 4 1/2 hours? It is a dd and I do mak etrips to Wilmington to visit family.

They do alright in the rain, nothing to write home about but dont always spin out, they are a little soft for DD but i don't know about there longevity cause i am not easy on them at all. I have made some texas-washington trips on them though and they do fine.

Bought a set of 255/50r16 Toyo Proxes TQ DR's today. $140 a piece. I'll mount them tomorrow. Hopefully they'll fit under the rear. Read some good things about them. Thanks for the help though. I spoke with 4 places today on the BFG's. They all told me they were being discontinued. I'll post pics of them. A guy at work is buying my Ventus HRII's. He has an old 5.0 Mustang. Should hook u for him.

It depends on the car. Whether or not if you have bump stops(you might have to remove them), sometimes you might have to do the BFH mod. Some people put them on with no issues.
