What wheels to buy that will grip a little, but last What wheels is everyone running these days that will grip a little and last a while. I have Nitto555R's on that lasted about 32,000 miles. Looking for a bit longer tread life if POSS.
Heads/cam/150 wet shot. So pushing a bit of power.

one little trick i like to do is put tires on my wheels and usually the rubber actually grips better than the metal.....it doesnt make cool sparks but if your more into performance then tires are definitly the way to go!

Is there anything that would last a little longer than the nitto's? I want decent tread life with something that will hold well that isn't insanely expensive. I need recommendations for front and rear. On fronts I have falken ziex on there.

Click the link and compare the tires. You can read up on the tire specs and tire performance data by clicking on each picture. BTW, 30K on a DR is damn good.

first of all.. your not going to get a sticky tire that will last 32,000 miles.. i guarantee you, that you were down past the cords. i mean jesus, theres no nitto that will last 32,000 miles???????? umm, as far as getting the same quality tire that will hook just as well and last longer, not gonna happen. if you had a nitto that lasted 32,000 miles and still held good traction your probably one and only. but, get some nittos again because theyre sexy tires
