Tire help

06gtcoop · February 14th, 2009, 03:34 PM

I need some sticky tires for my 20's in the back. I need recommendations for tires and the cheapest places to get them. They're for my DD so I need something with decent longevity that will do decent in rain. Thanks!

I've been looking at BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S. I need something for my DD that will be good in all conditions, including light snow and ice. One GT owner on this link said they grip pretty well with his 4.10s........

there really isn't a great tire to cover all the things you want ..
sitcky and rain= oil and water..
20" wheels just limit us on the sticky tire. I just got a set of 17x9 v6 take offs and put some dr's on for the strip... most guys with 20's here run the nitto 555 tire.. but I am sure they will all chime in.. I run a Toyo all season on my 20's but they are hard as hell... good luck!!!

The Nitto 555R's are an excellent tire at a good price. The 555DR are even stickier but they are a drag radial and not so good in the rain. You coud check out the new Nitto Nt05. They are suppose to be stickier than the 555's are and still good in the rain. They are stickied at the top of this page.
My 98 has seen nothing but 555R's in the last 5 or so years, except for the stock rims that I run for a couple of months in the winter.

Isn't the 555R the Drag Radial?

Yes the 555R is the drag radial, the 555 is just the all performance street tire.

I run the 555s on my 20" Razors and they are great on traction!
