Tires

Monster90 · May 7th, 2008, 02:31 PM

It's time for me to get some new rear tires and was wondering what some decent budget ones would be. I just want them until I'm ready for some Nittos.

what size tire r u talking about???
if u have 17x10.5 get the sumitomos they r like 100 bucks
if u have stock wheels get some kuhmo summer tires they are cheap and hold very well for about 15k miles

i'd say sumitomo.... my fronts were $65 each

B0B · May 7th, 2008, 03:01 PM

my nittos were $214 a piece

but the grip kicks ass..

I have stock wheels. The Kuhmos sound good for the summer.

i use kumho ast's for my everyday driving. i could really care less about grip (since I don't light them up) when i am just driving to the store. that's what the DR's are for when i go to the track

i'm thinking about putting my stock wheels with some cheap tires on them for winter driving.. i hate getting my nice chrome ones all dirty i dont want them to rust. the cornering grip is what i'm talking about though, its hard to break it loose

i just put sumitomos on mine and really like them,but its not a race car

Tmac3320 · May 7th, 2008, 11:53 PM

are the nitto 555's ok for a rear tire? mines a dd so i dont know about a drag radial. otherwise i was gonna go for the kumho ecsta MX tires. i've heard good things about those.

nitto's are the shiznit... i cut a 1.89 on the nitto street tires

Tmac3320 · May 8th, 2008, 12:18 AM

wow, maybe i'll just go with those. theyre a bit cheaper than the kumhos too i think. i like burning em every once in a while, so will i see 20k out of the 555's?
