witch Tires are best?
#21
Vey tough call. Those tires are 395 a piece new. So a used set at 200 bucks aint bad. Yes they will still grip well, almost like running a shaved track tire. Their UTQG rates them at 140 A A which means they are damn sticky. But they are a SUPER SOFT COMPOUND which means with 3/16" of tread left, you'll only get maybe 1-2K miles out of them. So ask if you want to spen 200 now and then another 400 in 2500 miles.
Depends on the tire on how wide you can go. 315 nitto DR's will fit a 9" rim, but 315 BFG DR's won't. So check back after you decide on a tire.

i took the POTENZA's off my girls car with probably 20k miles left in them, they just didnt feel safe to me, they slid out on a curve, and once when someone pulled out in front of us, it just didnt seem to stick!!

Go to : http://www.tirerack.com/ and look into the Ultra-high performance summer tires and get what you like.
I am running 275/40-18's on the back with a 8.5" rim and they look good!
Saleen told me that I could go as wide as 285/40-18 with out rubbing.
Just did not find a tire that I liked in that size.

I wanted tires that would last more than 17,000 miles this time so, I got the BFG G-Force A/S for the rear and the Goodyear Eagle GT A/S for the front.
Would have gone with the Goodyears on the back but, they did not come in that size.
Took an 1,000 mile trip last month down most of the California Coast HYWY and they were GREAT! 20 mph warning signs on turns meant 55 mph! LOL!
