i want to put my back tires to the front i have Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z II Tire (255/40-17), and i want to get the NITTO Extreme Performance NT555R Drag Radial (275/40-17) for the rear but my question is will they fit my stock 35th editiion rims in the rear?

also the weather isnt too good in NY how would the drag radials do in the snow?

or should i wait for spring and then do the tire swap, most importantly will they fit?

thanx

 

they will fit, I would doubt they will perform at all in th snow

 

how about 315/35/17 i doubt those will fit... or would they? lol

 

not on 17x8s, 315 nittos will fit on a 17x9, but no smaller than that

 

the drag radials will fit, the 315s wont


if you try and drive in the snow with the drag radials, you will die

 

almost any tire is better than the sumitomo tractionless wonders you have. But drag radials require a bit of heat otherwise they have a hard time creating much grip...


Get some better all season tires, toyo proxes 4's in a 305 are pretty cheap, check with cruizin concepts.. they are awesome tires=P

 

i thnk you have a better chance driving on your rims in the snow than the DR's... (from what i hear i live in houston)
