right now i have an 01 gt with h&r sport springs i think 1.5 drop and currently running 245/45/r17 and i was wondering is there a better size to run on stock 9in wheels or should i keep it.....what about the sumitomo htrs

you can run wider tires in the rear if you want

well DRs will hook alot better and help a shitload if you go to the track but wont last as long and not be too great in the rain

HMUSN · July 5th, 2008, 05:12 PM

screw 325's. 415's ftw!

^holy shit

I would stick with the 245/45 in the front and do a 275/40 in the rear.

Either BFG KDW or Nitto NT555. I have the Nittos and they are great.

DeMello · July 5th, 2008, 05:21 PM

hmusn...how much would 415 nitto DRs cost if i had big enough rims?

HMUSN · July 5th, 2008, 05:22 PM

you would need to tub your car.. (means cutting into the truck) to even think about running a tire that wide man. and nitto doesn't make a drag radial that big.
