Gimme your opionions on DR's

mustangmanic · January 13th, 2009, 12:42 AM

Ok. well its time for new tires. should i get 305/45/18 nitto 555r's or 315/30/18 bfg kdw dr's?

I know the nitto's will last longer over the bfg's, but the bfg's also provide much more grip. I'm not going to be using them for drag racing, only for street use, because i get absolutely no traction what so ever with my 295/35/18 bfg kdw street tires.

Give me your opinions guys... o and your votes!

93hatch · January 13th, 2009, 12:49 AM

I dont have FI, N2O, or HCI yet.
Thats why the hp is on the low side.

And no, i get god awful traction. I'll make a video and post it up sometime this week to show what i mean. it spins out like a s/c cobra with 245 tires hahah.

Who ever said i street race?

JBIGBOOTSY · January 13th, 2009, 05:40 AM

There is a diffrence of allmost 4 inches of height between the two.

25.2" for the 30series, 28.9 for the 45 series.

leebunnyz · January 13th, 2009, 05:59 AM

Nittos

DickH · January 13th, 2009, 06:01 AM

TheUNZippee! · January 13th, 2009, 06:28 AM

I have the BFG, so I'm partial to them I guess.

Smoothgrandmama · January 13th, 2009, 09:25 AM

Nittos...but I don't see the 45 series working out for ya

Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

what about these????

i run these on the street but my car is not a daily driver..........

mustangmanic · January 13th, 2009, 11:24 AM

Damn, those 45's are some tall fuckers lol.

WhiteBoyCustom, i would most def get some m&h's or some et streets, but they just wont last but a summer on the street. They're just too soft lol.

I mean, i guess i could go 305/35/18 on the 555r's, but the 45's are just sooooo much cheaper lol. We'll see.

Drick · January 13th, 2009, 11:32 AM

You do know that the 555R IIs are a road race tire right?

Smoothgrandmama · January 13th, 2009, 12:42 PM

I thought the IIs were still for drag and the NT-01s were for carving...

No they're not. They're an improved version of the original 555r's.
