Default Yokohama S.drive / Continental DW

Anyone running these? I've been looking around for some 275 40 17 for a stock set of ss ZR-1 wheels. My car is only driven on nice days, never take it to the track. Any thoughts? Go...

I had the yokohama S. Drives and they sucked. I have had good sucess with the Nitto 555's. I have a set that have been on one of my cars since 2008 and I daily drove that thing for the first 3 years.

I like the nitto sidewall and I have yet to have any issues like I had with the S.drives. Seems like I had to keep replacing tires with the S. Drives within a 2 year span.

But maybe someone else had a better experience with the S. Drives, but they sucked ***** for me. I will never by Yokohama again.

Continentals are ok, I would rather go with BFG's at that size, Nitto's might be cheaper and are just as good

So how many total miles have you gotten out of the 555's in total?

I would go with the Continental DW . One of the best balanced tires out there.

Check Tire Rack, Discount Tire (Direct), and WS6store.com.

I mention the last one because they were the cheapest when I ordered my 315 Nitto's last winter.
