Best Tire
 

I'm looking for a tire that will really stick. I notice on launch my o3 snake hops a little and likes to spin. I was thinking Nitto but I dont know what model. I want to keep 17x9.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Eddie

Sup guys,

I just bought my 2nd set of tires. I like them alot and help my dreaded wheel hop. They are firestone firehawks sz50ep. They are $$$ though. But so worth the money. They are good sticky tires. They run about 162 a tire and 231 for the runflats(waste of money).

if i were you, the best high performance tire out there is the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position. But its only good for Summer conditions, its a nice sticky tire. I never had any problems with them on my other car.

ed the best sticking tires a bfgoodrich drag radials...they will only last about 10k miles tho. the only true way to solve your wheel hop is to take the ****ty irs off and put a solid axle in the rear.

got not problem wheel wheel hop on ny 99 cobra ,,eibach springs ..hooks good with 3.73s now...

believe it or not, the bfg comp t/a's are great for hooking. now launching hard at the track may be a little different, but mild racing and definately on the street they are great
