I have BFG KDs in the back 295/35/18. I'm going to get KDW2 285/40/18 on my next go around which will be this summer probably.

At the track, 265/40/18 BFG DRs.

Nitto 555's for the street.
Nitto DR's for the track (if I'm lazy)
Bogarts and MT's on the way.

Stockers all around 235/55/17's

Probably KDW's in 255/50/17's when they need replaced.

I am surprised anyone uses the stock tires. They are not even good enough for my power level!

M&H 325/45/17 for street.Much moresticky and waybetter traction than Nittos but Nittos better for evacuating water. I suspect also that M&H won't last as long as the Nitto DRs I had before.

MT ET streets on 15 inch Bogarts for track only.

ORIGINAL: cheftjpeck

no track tires, since no track visits...daily driver...kumho ecsta 255/45/18..actually a very good tire for the price...traction is there to a point....they corner great and are a great tire with the high heat and rainy season of fla...I thought of getting drag radials, but quickly reminded myself...duh, why, I don't drag race...next tire I will invest in a wider rear [275/40/18] and abetter more tackier not so ridged tire, but again being in fla it has to be a good all weather tire...
Is that the kumho ecsta SPT's you've got or something else?

pirelli P zero rosso 275-40-19r on the rears 245-45-19 on the fronts with privat profil wheels. The grip is great when it is hot, not the best but not bad on damp or wet surfaces.

I should have asked if you guys were on stock rims or not. I would like to stay away from buying new rims if possible but I will if it means good traction!
