Hey guys im in need of 2 rear tires. I live in iowa and it rains alot, so im thinking the mickey thompson et street radials might not be the best plan. So to the best of my knowledge that leaves me with bfg kdws or the nitto 555r's. Which are better for traction overall?

I have a 91 gt, also what size tires should i get 245/50/16?

 

do NOT drive in the rain with any of the tires u listed lol...

225/55/16 if its stock rims

if ur gunna be drivin in the rain alot i suggest an all season tire with water jackets

 

BFG KDW and KDWS are both good in the rain, and the 555R is good in the rain as well as long as you arent stupid.

 

alrighty thanks for your opinions. Which do you recommend onyx?

 

I have an 89 gt and i run 17x9 with the nittos nt555r's and don't have any problem in the rain. they are a good tire and great at the track. go with the nitto's haven't had a problem yet.

 

alrighty, as far as the 555r's go, is it true that you have to heat them up before they perform better?

also what size do you recommend for the stock pony 16rim?

 

Yes, you have to smoke 'em up pretty good at the track. If they make a 255 for the 16" wheel that's what I would go with.

 

255/?/16

what is the middle number mate?

 

+1 there nitto's a good tire. keep the et streets for the dry days and track then are bad news in water [sm=trust_me.gif]

 

what about the bfg kdw's are they better then the nittos overall?
