idk that much about tires, so i was jw. you see a lot of different commercials out there so its hard to know what to believe

 

street racing tires? put the flame suit on. For the street you use street tires. For the track it's best to use drag radials.

 

haha whoops i meant just STREET. no drag strip.

 

I have not personally used nittos's. Ive had some good luck with kumho's

 

Nitto555's are the best overall bet for a street/DD tire if you want Nittos.

 

BFG g-Force Sport FTMFW!!!!

 

KW 2's expensive but worth it

 

ok, i will have to check them outt

 

i had the Nitto NT555's and i absolutly loved them, the handleing was superb and they had great grip off the line. i wish i could have gotten them again but i didnt have the cash 170$ per tire. i think this summer im gonna pic up another set. they have pretty good life to i got about 25K out of them

 

ahh thats nice. haha yeah quick quesiton. im still running on those shitty stockys and i have 26k on them. so i problem need to change them pretty soon right?

 

not if you still have tread. do the penny test, thats fairly accurate.

 

penny? ya sure bc in a lot of pics i see people using quarters

 

yea stick a penny in the middle of the tread and if the tread goes further than Lincoln's head you're still good. but if it doesnt go further than his head then start looking into some new tires.

 

ohhh ok. thanks man!

 

no problem. i have fuzion zr-i's on my car and i like em alot. look into em

 

i can get 2 types of tire at cost: falken 451 or Nakang ns2. does anyone know anything about these tires, price, performance, value?

 

ok man i will

 

google tire reviews and the name of tire you wanna know about

 

The KDW2 is one of the best deals out there for every day performance on the street, they hook great and give almost track tire performance with street tire life. If you have the money, the Pilot Sports are a fantastic tire and have almost no downsides other than the cost and marginal treadwear, but you aren't going to find a much better tire without going to an R compound track tire. Try a Nitto NT-01 for a good streetable race tire, they hold up better than the 555R DRs and are much stickier than the 555 street tires, while giving better handling than both.

Both cheap, junky tires, but they work just fine for what they are. You get what you pay for, don't expect supercar performance from budget tires.

 

Nittos are ok if you aren't making any power....in all honesty

When you start making some power, you're going to need big boy dancing shoes....not the trainers. IE MT ET Streets

 

Most people on here wouldn't even know what to do with real tires. They are better off not breaking **** and using regular tires, a little wheelspin is safer on everything unless you are set up correctly, and most people aren't.

Also, if people are getting 25K miles out of stockers, they don't need real agressive tires. I cooked my stockers in 11K miles, KDWs lasted me about 20K. I drive hard

 

i have nitto 555's and they are really nice...but i think my next tire will be the bfg kdubs

 

haha i know what you mean. ive gotten 26k so far out of my stockers, but i just did the penny test and the tread is like barely on his neck lol

 

I have Nankang NS-II's and they are sticky as hell. The reason they are so cheap is the treadwear is TERRIBLE. But, they perform great.

 

turn the penny upside down, have his head towards the ground
