Alot of it will depend on what kind of driving yer doing?

 

[JoshHooten]

the bfg's prob have the shortest life i had a set they were great tires super soft wide but not worth the money unless you go to the track and dont drive much you might get 2,000 miles on them i had a set and they lasted about 2 months and my car isnt a daily driver
they were 315/35-17

 

[OnyxCobra]

yeah what is the purpose of the tires?

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

If you are not doing any racng DR's are a waist of money. I run Goodyear Eagles on mine, all the way around. But I see no track time. I had BF Goodrich G-Force all the way around. Got about 30k out of them, but they made alot of tire noise. I won't buy them again.

nitto nt05 and sumitomo htr z should never be considered in the same comparisons.
first decide if you want drag radials or not. if so, NT05s seem to be the best out there but they wear fast. if not, then nt555rs are decent but there are alot of other decent tires out there as well. eagles like Matt said are good.

 

[Naptown_Stang]

what do you want in a tire?

 

[blkmcnasty]

i definetly wont buy another set of nitto 555. I run the 315's in the rear and they need to be heated up real good to get any sort of stick in them. I have no problems barking the tires in third gear on cold pavement. KDW's FTW.

 

[PI96GT]

if your going for a DR i like the ET Street, hook like a champ

 

[MadStang]

Toyo TQ's are one of the longest lasting Drag Radials. You sacrifice some grip for that though. IMO, of the DR's listed they are the best dual purpose tire.

I'm addicted to the tread pattern of BFG KDWs:

 

[OnyxCobra]

Only thing I don't like is how noisy my KDW tires are. I had 555Rs on my old wheels and they were a great street/strip tire, more traction on the street than a street tire but obviously not the best at the track. I'm guessing you want more of a street tire than a track tire.

 

[Bianner]

i want something that i can drive on everyday but at the same time has alot of traction when needed.

 

[OnyxCobra]

okay then you can cross the regular 555 and HTRZ right off the list. How much power is the car making, any idea?

 

[KWClutch]

Nitto NT05 hands down. Wear kinda sucked but I hit a 1.6 60' putting down 450hp. If you're putting down under 300hp the 555's would be just fine. KDW's suck.

 

[OnyxCobra]

I hate that Nitto doesn't make their tires in any good 18" sizes.

 

[Bianner]

right now i'm running the 555 radials on my car right now.
and for hp idk but the stock 98 cobra make around 305 i believe and as of mods i have a 200 warhn fuel pump, k&n drop in filter and bigger injectors but around 305 idk how much lol

and the NT05 i like how they look!
