STICKY TIRES

So Im ordering 17 inch chrome bullets and I WAS going to get DR's, but I dunno if I want to replace as soon as I know I'll have to....so what are some really good sticky street radials for a GOOD price???

Nittos are pretty good for the street but not that great for the track. The nittos will last you longer than other DR`s. Im running a performance tire for the street and im hooking up better than I thought I would. (Goodyear F1 GS-D3`S) These are a bit expensive but well worth the cost.

+1 Nittos are crap at the track, my friend with an 03 Mach couldnt hook AT ALL he was running low 10's in the 1/8th with them, then went and got BFG DR's (still not as good as mickeys IMO) and is now running 8.3's

RE: STICKY TIRES

i have nitto's and on the street i spin for a sec and hook everytime. I'm sure its not going to be much different at the track either. I have an 04 cobra.
