Good Prices on tires

weldreth · February 18th, 2009, 12:47 AM

i wanna run some type of drag radial on my stock 18inch fanblades but cant seem to find a good price on them looked at tirerack,discount tire,am, brenspeed rpm outlet etc, etc, shitty prices and i have no clue what would hook up the best 285or 305 or 295?????????????

sorry, there not shitty prices... your looking for an 18" drag tire. You gotta be able to pay to play. You're gonna pay over $200 bucks a tire. on the stock 18x8.5 you are looking at a 285 as your widest option. If you can't afford an expensive tire, try picking up some v6 rims and buy a 16in m/t

18" tires are expensive no matter what you look at.

Get the right size tire for your rim width. If they're 9" rims, that's a 275.

nitto 555R's(285dr) for the 18x8.5 at steeda are about $225 if the price has not changed. Which is not bad...

15k?!? Good luck with that, lol. I barely pull 15k out of all-season tires, much less race rubber. I'll be shocked if my RA1s last me 5 thousand miles, hahaha.

NastyFX4 · February 18th, 2009, 01:05 AM

10,000-15,000 miles is possible with the Nitto NT555DR and that's it.

Jucostud · February 18th, 2009, 01:07 AM

none. you're gonna get the best milage out of nitto's, but your crazy to expect 15k. You might make over 10k though. this is what you are looking for.

yes its possible(i have no experience with drs thats why i asked) without burning everywhere, can we answer a question or continually speak of impossibles, and take implications that i wanted a 18" dr for 50 bux

i asked for a highly recommended tire with good personel experience , or a good bang for the buck..... that is all

+1 From personal experience. In my opinion these are the best DR for the street, in price, traction, and treadwear. I'm using Mickey Thompson DR's now and they are no better than the Nitto's were on the street, they are more expensive, and I don't think they are going to last nearly as long as the Nitto's either. At the strip, the Mickey's out perform the Nitto's hands down. Steeda has the best prices on Nitto's from my past experience as well.

You could always go down to JPC again and get some mickey DR's. thats where I got mine. he also has nittos down there.

weldreth · February 18th, 2009, 11:47 AM

SUHLeen · February 18th, 2009, 12:32 PM

Doesn't Nitto have a new version of the 555's?

ROUSH STAGE II · February 18th, 2009, 12:41 PM

They have these but I've never tried them...

I'll have to look through my magazine. Thought I saw something similar to the 555 but a little more 'slick'
