i have a 2003 gt. used mainly on the weekends, some highway driving. i live in the city. the stock tires are **** on traction. give me some help on selecting a better tire to fit on stock rims. thanks

all around treadwear and grip go with bf goodwrench gforce t/a, my buddy got em for 160 a piece
but if treadwear and water traction arent a biggie then go with the nitto d/r setup

i want a tire that i can drive in the city, i dont care about treadwear, and that GRIPS

72MachOne99GT

MT ET Street Radials are a very sticky compound

i spent a bit of $$ for them, but at the track i bogged down my 99GT with 4.10's around 3500 rpm

so theyre pretty sticky, and as long as you dont drive like a mad man at every intersection, they'll last maybe 12K or so, here are mine with over 3K on them now

how do they hold up in the city?

LvGordo

Grip? cornering or everytime you mash the throttle, you spin the tires? get drag radials (nittos) for straight line or the comp ta's like said for cornering. If you are spinning tires from launch too much, then you need to look into some suspension to calm that down, tires all day aint necessarily the answer.

tires spin. i wanted to know how the m/t do in cornering.

haha sounds like you have the same problem as me. get a good set of upper and lower control arms and some subframe connectors. you wont spin hardly at all and if you put nitto drag radials on the car, you will be set.

control arms and tires .... i think that i am going to have to wait until the summer to scrounge up that kind of cash!
