[El_Diablo]

like i said, right now i need street tires that can grip but aren't terrible in the rain... anyone know of any in a 295 or 305 35/18 for fairly inexpensive?

Your asking the impossible. You wont find a cheap tire that grips well and handles good in the rain. Nitto DR's are great street tires but are not good in the rain. You can go w/ an actual street tire that grips awesome but is still not that great at the track b/c it is a street tire like the BF Goodrich KDW's or Good Year Eagle F1's but they are expensive, especially in the size you want

Get the nittos from steeda...they are the cheapest place I found.

In the size of 315/35/17 they are $352 shipped from Discount Tire Direct. They are $414 shipped from Steeda

I got my 555R's from Steeda for $142 each (275/40/17) - that was cheaper than any other place. Shop around you'll find good prices on eBay too.

cheap is under $375-400 a tire... not impossible, but not easy

again, this is a daily driver during summer

That was a 275 of course they are cheaper. Bigger the tire = more the cost considering he was asking about 295's. Steeda does not offer a 295 Nitto according to their website anyyway

 

[El_Diablo]

yes, and i need an 18 inch tire, not a 17, theres a huge jump in price........

how many miles should the 555's last?

 

[Venom351R]

depends on how many burn outs you do w/ them

 

[El_Diablo]

not to many....... im not really a track guy, just like to run against my friends

 

[Venom351R]

I think its around 8,000 to 10,000 but it all depends on your driving habbits

The nitto 555's are pretty much your best option, not the 555r's they will run out faster and not good in the rain but the regular 555's were designed for any whether conditions and still have some grip.

The 285/35/18 on there are only $231 each, youll never beat that price.

actually, i found a few places selling them for less but that isnt a bad price at all... to bad they only offer a 285

My NT555R's are just fine in the rain as long as you don't drive like an ass..which you shouldn't be anyways.

 

[stang94X]

my first set of hoosiers where around $170 each, drove on em 5-6 months straight everyday rain or shine, this past summer when i got new rims i got new hoosiers to fit, but still drove on the first pair for 2-3 months

 

[El_Diablo]

im actually getting very interested in the nitto nt-05's... to bad i cant order them yet :tongue3:

 

[1GaDrifter]
