I was thinkin of nittos 555 but they aint got my size for the rear , So I will probably get nittos 555R.......I was looking at bf goodrich g-force T/A radials as well but on the rear tire, the 315, the rim size says 11-12" so I was wonderin if it would fit in my 10.5" rim ? correct me if Im wrong. So what do you guys got?
I had those G force tires on the front of my cobra when I had my bullitts on it they are a good tire and not expensive. Right now I have a new tire called Nexun's ( I think that's how its spelled ) on the front and of couse my BFG Drag radials out back. However I'm like you, I am going to be trying the nitto ( drag radials ) very soon because my BFG's are just about to be retired.
ive got hankook k106; not the best but for 375 mounted and balanced they actually are really nice; at any rate better than stock
Goodyear Eagle GSD3's, they are very sticky and insanely good in the rain....light years ahead of the Nitto's i had before these.
i had Hankook Ventus HR II 265/35/18's on all corners of my stang and loved them, good all round tire and they looked sharp too.
i had hankook's on my sunfire. loved them. they were awesome all around tires. they placed 5th last yr in car and driver's tire test.
yeah as far as bang for the buck their pretty awesome, not really that expensive and have the same tread patterns as tires much more expensive than they are.
I have BfGoodrich G-Force TA KDW new tread. They look awesome and perform really well, especially in the rain. I have worked in a tire shop for three years(finally got one more month left) and will say to stay away from goodyear. The GSD3 is very prone to spliting belts. Goodyears quality has went down hill in the past 10 years. They are making horrible stuff now. I have not been a big fan of the nitto tires because they just dont seem to hook for a drag radial(they do rate them at 14k miles though under normal driving). In the bfgoodrich kdw line i do recommend the new tread. I dont care for the old tread kdw. The drag radials i have heard good out of. My sizes are 275/35zr18 on the back and 245/40zr18 on the front which are mounted on 18x9 inch rims. I have had Michelin Pilot Sports and Bridgestone Pole Position S-03 also. The new tread BfGoodrich is definately a better tire in every aspect.
