nitto drs or kumho ASX

these will be going on my 17x9 cobras... the kumhos will of course be the economical choice in terms of longevity and up front cost... but i would also like to stick and move when i go.. and take my car to the track.

VOTE...

 

I had a friend who had kumhos and he couldn't stand them so i'll vote against them

 

Thats what iv heard about em.. but i dont wanna look like an idiot with 2 front kumhos and 2 dif brand tires out back lol.. idk why it just is weird.. but it wouldnt bother me if they are dr...cause those are bad ***.... haha

im also curious as to how nittos due under normal non jack *** driving in the rain.. are they maintainable?

 

I have the 555Rs on my car. They are just fine in the rain if you don't floor it. Even if you do floor it, they will probably perform much like any regular street tire does in wet conditions (like ****).

 

hows the life.. above 10k?

 

I wouldn't expect much more than 12k out of a track tire even if you baby it.

 

yea i know, nittos have been know to go 10-15k just curious what he has gotten

 

ah, you puss, I have BFG's on the rear, and Riken or some off brand on the fronts. (the BFG's hook well and have like a 340 treadware rating, so they were the obvious choice for me)

 

well i voted for the kumhoes, only cus i got em.

 

In a previous post, one mentioned the 555R's...which is a drag radial. So you are trying to decide between a street radial and a drag radial?

IMO best street radial BY FAR: Nitto 555 or BFG KDW(don't last as long though)

and drag radials go M/T
