i like my 335 nitto DRs but after I get the turbos installed we will see

 

For track duty:




Sorry for the dirty car. Have to love keeping black clean. Anyways these are larger than they appear in the photos. They are 28" x 11.50" x 16" LT. They rub the plastic rear bumper/quarter panel slightly. I will have to sand it down a bit. I will also have to massage (ie. beat in ) the wheel wells somewhat.

EDIT: Some research shows that adjustable LCA's will allow we to bring the rearend forward some to make room for them as well. I am going to shoot for 2" of clearance.

 

Like my bfg dr's. But now that m/t finally came out with a 315/35 im going to try them.

 

Michelin Pilot Sport Cups are awsome for track use. For street use they suck, unless you like to take 25mph turns at 70mph and kill your power steering pump and rack under 3mph.

Kumhos 295/35 Rear Surprisingly Hooking Real Well On The Street

 

Bfg Kdw,

 

i got nittos in the back wich are great but loud and falkins in the front that SUCK they ride slip and slide on dry asphalt

 

street = 315/35R17 ET Street radials, just got them in the mail today.

track = 28x10.50 mounted on 15x10 Pro Stars (picking those up on Saturday)

 

I've had Kumho 712's....suck. They work well in the rain, but don't expect much in cornering or straight line traction.
BFG KD...Wore well and had good traction. Also did well in rain since I drive my car daily.
Falken RT-615...Everyone is down on Falken but these tire are nice. They have also been doing well in the rain. They also hook better than the KD's. Under full throttle in the top of 2nd my KD's would get damn loose. These will still spin but not near as much. They're not wearing as well as the KD's did though. I'm debating on putting them up front because of this.

 

Falken RT-615s Azenis

 

im def going with high dollar rubber once i put my new engine in... gotta have good grip with the power im gonna have.

 

mt dr 325's.....on bogarts.....

 

Im trying to decide between 3 tires inn 275/40/17.
Riken Raptors - 300 tread wear rating 129$
Sumitomos htrz II - 220 tread wear rating 96$
Kumho ecsta mx - 220 tread wear rating, 140$

Im leaning towards the summitomos. I want the car to hook, but i also need it to last over 20,000 miles, since i drive over 15 a year. but with the summitomos being cheap it wouldnt be so bad if i had to change them more. Ive been stuck on which one to get for a while, any suggestions?

 

currently: 275/40/17 riken raptors = hook decent for the lack of tread on them right now...car is mostly stock though...

On order: 275/40/17 GSD3's!!!!!!!!!!!! steppin my game up!

 

that exhaust is so low it makes me vomit just looking at it

 

I would like to run the BFG KDW 2's but all i can afford right now are the Falken Ziex....

 

The BFG KDW'2 are an awesome tire with my bolt-on 6 speed SS, i think they stick very well!

 

street= 255/30/22 nankang
track= front nitto 255/45/17 nt450s
rear nitto nt555r 275/40/17

 

I have had Nittos, they are ok but the tread life is **** **** ****...Sumitomos are **** all the way around and back, horrible tire. Rikken Raptors were ok, alot better than the sumitomos. When I got my car it was wrapped in BF Goodrich, they didnt smoke much when you burned them off, but they my have been old. So far my most favorite street tire has been a Fuzion ZRi. That was an excellent tire with a really cheap price. That tire would hook very well, it gave me about 30k miles and thats with getting the car sideways on purpose a couple times a week, the occasional burnout and about 3 doughnuts once or twice a month (M6 with 4:10s was easy to light them up whenever I wanted to). It is a shame they stopped making that tire...

 

Nitto NT-555 all around for me
