Drgnracin72 · October 5th, 2006, 09:47 AM

nitto 555 305 or 315/40 17. great street tire around 185 a piece

DCstangGT · October 5th, 2006, 11:34 AM

if you are talking about the nitto 555's and not the 555r's then i would love to know where you are finding them because ive looked all over and the only tires ive found that were 305 or 315 are drag radials

Drgnracin72 · October 5th, 2006, 11:42 AM

i lmost got the 305 for mine. i just went to hibdons and got them

acmillr · October 5th, 2006, 03:02 PM

I've got Sumitomo's on mine (315/35/17), and I love them- especially considering the price--- tirerack.com

I agree, the sumimottos are the bomb! U can get a pair of them for the cost of 1 from someone else. I have about 1000-1500 miles on mine and I love them. Even with the Vortech they seem to grip very well.

DCstangGT · October 7th, 2006, 05:41 PM

which sumitumos do you got?

WAVEBYE · October 7th, 2006, 05:55 PM

i got the michelin sport pilots and they work great but they are a little high. i got 18x10.5 and i plan on putting a 315/35/18 BFG g-force T/A drag radials next.

John C · October 7th, 2006, 06:02 PM

these are the ones that I got from the Tire Rack.

Sumitomo HTR Z 315/35/17 108.00 each

www.tirerack.com

You can input the wheel size and get a list of tires, with reviews, specs, and everything else.

DCstangGT · October 8th, 2006, 05:41 AM

ok so if i buy the tires from tire rack, where do i go to get them installed?

gills99stang · October 8th, 2006, 05:44 AM

Just take them to a local tire shop to get them mounted and balanced. Tire Rack actually has a list of preferred vendors on their site, but any good local place will suffice. I would stick with a national chain, since they have fixed prices and usually can't rip you off, and guarantee their work. But if you know of a good local privately-owned place, rock on.

ChrisJ · October 8th, 2006, 06:40 AM

I like www.discounttiredirect.com myself...

Great deals...Quick SHipping...Great Warranty...

I have bought tires from them several times...

John C · October 8th, 2006, 08:42 AM

Any good tire store can mount them, Just stay away from the yahoo's. I mount and balance my own but then again I work for a dealer and am spoiled that way.
take care, John C

ChrisJ · October 8th, 2006, 08:56 AM

Yeah I mount and balance my own as well...

Pretty much any tire shop can do it...Pep Boys is not too bad...If I had to choose though I would go with Merchants (if they have them where you are)...

Those are the same exact tires I have... I've beat the SHIT out of them, and am suprised they've lasted as long as they have. Plus the price is very nice too. I figure I'll beat the piss out of these, and when I get the s/c on get a nice set of drag radials.

ChrisJ · October 9th, 2006, 07:05 AM

I prefer Nitto's...But everyone has preference...

acmillr · October 9th, 2006, 01:47 PM

I ordered mine Fri. afternoon and the local tire shop received them Mon. morning from tire rack. I just called a local tire shop, let them know what I was doing, and had the tires shipped directly to them so I didn't have to mess with transporting them.

the thing is though is they dont make nittos in that size unless you get drag radials and i dont want drag radials

MyStang02 · October 9th, 2006, 02:09 PM

I suggest the tirerack.com What they said

great prices,service and I had mine the next day. I'm only about 200 miles from them so the shipping was fast. Good Luck with your skins.
