Default G- Force or Pirelli????Please Help????

I'm not entirley sure on which brand i want.. I'm leaning toward G-Force,but Perilli is a great tire also. I have a 98 Trans Am and i want to put a 17X8 Rim nothing huge and obnoxious.. I'm tinkin about y2k vette rims OKAy, my other question is, What size tire? i want wide as possible, should i go with 295's or 315'S??

Any help is greaty appreciated

ok bro, first of all if you get the y2k's get the 17x9.5's, second of all the tire choices you listed are way to wide for the rim width you want. go with the 9.5 wide rims with 275/40 tire, that will be cool, 295 and 315 is for like 10.5 or 11 inch wide wheels. oh and go with the g-force KD's. hope that helps.

if you are looking for the best all-season tires go with the Pirelli's(though they are on backorder for about 3weeks) I knew someone with a set and they were the sh*t. Drove through snow pretty well. The Dry and Wet traction was OUTSTANDING. That is why in my other thread i was so pissed when i heard they were on Nat'l Backorder.
