Default What tires?? Can't decide on brand...

I'm sorta on a budget so I was looking at the B.Stone Potenza RE750, F.Stone Firehawk Wide Oval, and BFG T/A KDW's.... All 275/40/17 because I like being able to rotate. Also heard Nitto 555 might be good choice. BFG g-force sports....heard these weren't bad either, good bang for the buck same traction rating as kdw but beter treadwear rating. Just wonder what you guys recomend and what the strong points are of each tire.

I went with the nitto nt555 extreme performance tires all around. Its the street tire not the drags. Overall I really like them, they are a good tire. The hook pretty damn well also, I was pretty surprised. Also the price is not that bad for a set, if I remember I paid around 700 for all four of them.

I just put on a set of Fuzion ZRi's 274-40/17's all around and love them. Paid $120/pc at Tires Plus (Firestone/Bridgestone) plus mounting and balancing.

Great wet or dry, and quiet on the highway. Budget tire with lots to offer.

I liked these tires but they were loud, but man did they hook well

I now have the KDWs, they hook great and arent as loud as my F1s.
