I appreciate the help from all you guys, and i think i'm probabley gonna go with these tire sizes here, they seem like they would be the best sizes for my car! Thanks

I would buy the bfg's out of the 2, but if you want a really good DR, go with a MT ET Street, you wont be dissapointed.

I was just screwing with you man!

Hey everyone, if I offend, it's only because you're taking me too seriously! I was born a smartass. Don't insult me just because of my disability. LOL!

See the tread on the hoosier r6?

...exactly...

the BFGs will last longer. besides, you don't need a ZR rated tire for street driving, (even if you do get on it hard) R rated tires will be fine for basicly every thing you do on the street. unless you are insane...

I think the BFGs will do you right. the MTs are even more track friendly...and even less street friendly, a "Better" tire isn't always the best option for street driving, unless you like changing tires alot.
