im looking for the best tire to hook up with. I dont wanna go the DR route. TIA guys

 

which do you guys prefer...... BFG gforce sport or Nitto 555 extreme ???

 

BFG KDW for dry...they have a wet and dry and a strictly dry, the dry are a little more, they came on the cobra r i believe

 

I like my Bridgestone Potenzas re750's, they hook up pretty good and have good tread life.

 

kinda pricey though. any comments on BFG g-force sport or nitto 555 extreme's...

 

So by "street tires'', I'm guessing that you're ruling out drag radials. If not, then go with some Nittos for street driving.

If you're ruling out drag radials, then I'd reccomend BFG KD's, or KDW's for wet traction too. Or Goodyear Eagle GS-D3s, but both are pricey.

 

My regular 555's dont have a prayer at gripping on the street, never have, and I still have about 90% tread left.

 

any comments on the BFG G-Force Sport tire? And yes im ruling out the Drag Radials....trying to keep the tires for longer than 10,000 miles

 

my goodyear gsd3 hook great for a street tire

 

those gsd3's are expensive....kinda on a budget. my new cam package put a hole in the ol wallet piece

 

ya especially when you run a 315 tire around 300$ per tire.but they are very very worth it i had drs before and these hook just as good but have much longer life

 

I have these on all 4 corners for $900 mounted, out the door... One of the best street tires I've ever had. They are wearing quite even and had them on for a year, still plenty of tread... you may save $200 going cheaper on all 4 corners... Good Luck

 

ive been running 555 extremes for four years and KDW's before that and goodyear f1's originally and i really like the nittos.
id probably buy them again without hesitation, they wear good, look good, and i think hook up real well and their real predictable.

 

I have the 555 extremes and they seem to hook pretty well, or at least alot better than the previous tires (Kuhmos came on the car). I also installed an adjustable BMR torque arm and adjustable panhard bar right after I put the 555s and that seemed to make the biggest difference. The car already had BMR LCA's.

 

Horsepower is useless if you can't put it to the ground

 

very true Turo

 

I love my 555R's

 

BFG gforce sports! nittos will last you longer.

 

back to the top

 

That's why I'm going to some DR from GS-D3s. On a stock car they're great... on a 400hp+ car they don't really hook that well.
