because ilike the wheels that are on it now and they are 16s. i don't mean to sound rude. i have to be able to run them on the street and i want some tread because in georgia it's sunny one minute tornado warning the next.

i live 20 miles north of atl off I85 i was gonna put M/T sportsman pros on it but the size got discontinued [:'(]. so now i gotta find something else. the rims are 16x7.5 with 255/50/16 on back and they just don't hook.

if you are going to street it, use the dr's as johnny said... the bfg's hook real well... better for me than the nittos

Id acctually say go for Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3, unless you need DR's. I have these on my car (275/40/18), and it takes me a 5 grand drop just to get them spinnin...theyre pretty much AA rated on everything. I had BFG T/A Drag radials on before (275/35/18) and i think it was acctually easier to get them to spin than the goodyears i have on now. Plus, if youre going to street your car, the eagle F1's have a really nice tread design for wet roads...AA wet traction rating too. Trust me, driving in the rain with BFG T/A DR's is some SCARY ****. With the F1's i dont even have to think twice. So if youre not going for a full drag radial, definantly get Good Year Eagle F1 GSD3's.

(no i dont work for goodyear lol i have toyo's up front )

i used to have nittos but for some reason they won't hook, i have kumhos now, i will not buy any more, and they squeel at a 2300 rpm start, not a dump.
