Spin's.....all depends on what mods you have and how hard you drive the car. This topic has been beaten to death and I still havent decided on what tires to run on my TTII 17x11 either. Most popular choices are BfGoodrich and Goodyear. I would recomment to

IMO-

Track = Mickey Thompson

Street = BFG

And by that I mean "streetable". Don't drive these on snow, ice, in the rain, off-road, through a field, ok you get the idea. You will get more miles out of them than the MT's.

Those are your choices for "Drag Radials" here.

I hear a lot of people rave about the Goodyear F1-GS D3, I know the BFG KD is a great tire. But they are not cheap.

the goodyear isnt cheap either, in fact it is probably the most expensive 315 common to this site, from what i gather they are actually the widest 315, no word on the actual tread width, but when compared to other 315s the have been reported as being wider...

Nittos last the longest on the street. Downside is that you have to heat them up a good amount at the track.
