Well i was wondering, i want to get a new set of rims, and ive got those down( black deepdish bullits)...but i dont have an idea of what type of tires to get [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

I was thinking about the NItto 555,s but some say its worse that the stock perilles....

I was thiking about the BFG G force T/A KDW butttt the sidewall buldges out to much [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]

Then theres the BFG g-force T/A KD....but have not seen the sidewall for those.

Can anyone recommend me a good tire???

First, buy the very best tire you can afford! It is the single most effective upgrade for our cars.

I've used the 555s, and I really liked them. I think they are probably the best "bang for the buck" out there. The only complaint I've ever heard was from guys that expected to get 20k miles out of 555Rs [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nonono.gif[/img] ....duh. There are "better" tires in various categories, but I think 555s should definitely be on anyone (with a budget's) short list.

My favorite tire to date were my potenza S-03s. They were fantastic in both wet and dry, but wore out a little too soon and were fairly expensive.

I'd recommend checking out the reviews and prices of various tires at tirerack.

Joe - what's up buddy?

I have heard good things about Kuhmos but I am currently running same setup as Traffic above.
Defiitely like them. Have tried the BFG KDW2s NT and they are good but I like the look of the Nittos on the rim better (ie - your sidewall comment).

With track time at Fun Ford in Orlando and then the Nitto Nationals in Bradenton early in March, I beat on my 285s the most I ever have. Still in good shape. When I swap them out though, I am planning on doing the Nitto 295/45s out back like Swingle and MTAS. Nice fat rubber out back and they will fit on a 9 inch rim.
