well its that time of the month again so time for tires. What are you guys running for rubber ? I had placed an order for some nittos 555's but they are on back order so i am debating on getting somethign diffrent. Figured i would see what you guys are running and where a good place to get them is. I like to order them online most the time cause the tires places here are a joke. Thanks. Anyweb sites with good stuff woudl help also. :gso:

Right now I am running a BFGoodrich Traction T/A, it can be a little pricey but excellent tire, great handling and speed rating on it, I got hooked up by a buddy that works in a tire store so i dont know what they would be anywhere else or where is the best...not sure what size your needin either...

Nick, Believe it or not, I'm still on the Goodyear Eagles I drove off the lot with.

I'm researching wheels and tires now though and Nittos were a contender, but the big talk around svtoa/nashville are Mickey Thompson drag radials in back.. Everyone's raving about em'. They might be worth checking out. :cool:

KUMHO MX.....great dry weather and good rain. Nice tread pattern. Great road course tire but not drag tire. $$ was best I could find as well.

those MT drags are nice but seem to burn off wayyyyy to easy. i had some on my saleen and they lasted maybe a 2 months but i was at the track a lot.

I was running Nittos for about 5 years and loved them, especially the DRs on the back. When I got the new 18" wheels, I was kinda on a budget for tires. These Falkens actually handle better than the nittos and I highly recommend them. Cant beat the for the money but then again money may not be any object to you :)

Sumitomos on my 18's. Ran them on my last Mustang as well, have had no problems. Cheap and ordered direct from TireRack.
