lame... i wanted the MT ET streets accordin to summit the est ship date is 4/10/08.. i dunno i dont really like the BFG tread pattern. i like the other one but cant seem to find em. i like the nittos but i guess you guys give them bad reviews? i mean i dont have all that much hp and when i do my budget HCI i dont think im gettin over 300rwhp.

plus i have 3 sets of wheels.. or soon will. i have my 17x9 cobra r's for summer use, my 15x7 Turbines for winter use and im gettin 16x7 Ponys tomorrow for track use (im trading a set of wheels that came on my parts car for them. they have 2 brand new tires and 2 that are ok so i was just gonna swap them w/ D/R's)

i like these
255/50/16

idk about this
255/50/16

what about these?
245/50/16

the bfg's hook very well, dont judge a tire by its tread design!

nittos are more than enough for MOST cars on this board. ppl give them a bad rap because they dont know how to use the drag radial. you really have to heat up nittos, like where talking 10-15 second burnout. then those bitches will hook great. on the street i dont think u can have a better tire either(when its not raining lol) nitto d/rs get like 15k miles out of em.. not to bad
