If you could kindly provide a link showing me where I can get a 275/40/ZR17 Eagle F1 tire for $99 I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Nexen 3000's or Nitto 555's both great handling and performing tires for the price!

They don't appear to make that size, only thing on a 17 is a 265/40 and that's $400 a tire.

The only Nitto documented to run narrow is the NT-555R in 315/35/17. NT-05 stated width would be appropriate in the 275/40/17 size.

Perfect! I was under the assumption it was all Nitto's, thanks for clearing it up!

Yea that's the price including shipping I saw, plus the $80 rebate Goodyear is doing right now.

I was actually able to also find them at a tire shop local to me as well for $205 for a set so I was able to save shipping costs. A little higher sidewall then I wanted but for the price I couldnt complain. The car actually rides alot better than the 295/35/19s that were on it and looks more aggressive in my opinion.

I would like to know where you got a deal like that... I wouldn't mind a pair of 295/35/18's for my rear wheels

It just seems to be for that exact size 285/40/18, any other size and the price is more than doubled. I live in FL and there is a place in clearwater that has some pretty damn sweet deals on tires though. For that price I should have bought 2 sets just to have them LOL

The posted width for a 275/40/17 NT-05 on the Nitto site is 10.8 inches (if memeory serves)

Mathmetical true 275 is 27.5/2.54 = 10.826. To me that is effectively true to size.

Well just looked on tirerack and they are 162 a piece in that size which is cheap as hell i may just go ahead and get a pair but dont know how they would look on a 10.5 inch rim. Sucks that the 295's are over 400 a piece

Tirerack is overpriced, grab the part number and stick it in google, there are 2 sites I found those 285/40s for under $100 a piece.

I have 285s on a 10.5 inch rim and it looks fine, it doesnt look stretched at all. I can post up some pics if you want. I saw them cheap on online tires, they had them dirt cheap even with shipping.

I think the BFG KDW(KDW2) is one of the best street tires out there. My KDW were better than the GSD3 I replaced them with. I am currently on the 2nd set of NT05 and love them but they don't last as long.

Just checked it out, the NT05 in 275 is 10.79" but the NT555 (non-R) in 275 is 11.02" and the NT555R along with the F1 GS-D3 in 275 are 10.9".

I just put on the bfg sport comp-2's on my car and couldn't be happier, and I paid just under $700 installed with the $100 rebate from discount tire. They run wide too, about 11 1/8" wide on my 9.5" wheels. The GSD3's are not worth 2x the cost of other tires for similar performance.
