So I'm thinking of buying these Shelby Redlines

Obviously I will also need to buy tires. Anyone know a good place to order them from? I'm partial to Nitto NT555s.
Thanks!

AmericanMuscle, Discounttire, Tirerack...

I'm in the market for some NT555s too and the cheapest I've seen was discounttire, but AM does usually price match

I just did a little research on the NT555's and the tread life seems to be pretty good, yet there are always those who claim crappy life.

Is there anyone here who can back up those claims of long tread life? I'll be getting a new set of tires within a year and a half, and I may just go this route depending on what my fellow enthusiasts think...

Thanks

It really seems like the best bet is buying tires and wheels as a package. It's just hard to pass up those shelby redlines at $75 each. Also, most vendors include 275/40/18 which is quite a bit smaller in diameter than my current 245/45/19. It's always so hard buying new wheels and tires. Just too many options!

I had NT555s on my 07 and loved them. I only put about 4k miles a year on my car though. Just don't use a staggered set up so you can rotate them. They should last.

The link didnt seem to have a pic, but I googled them and found the chromes. Very very nice, especially at that price. I dont know if I'd like the look on mine, but they are pretty sweet...it has me thinking as well at that price it might be worth it!

Oh yeah...maybe your link went to the chromes...i went to their ebay store and see the gunmetal at 75 per wheel....now i am very seriously considering this. Those would be pretty much perfect!!!
