Tires...

I would call steeda for some nitto DR's and some 555's. They will help with that. But I would get some 18's and keep the 17's to mount some ET streets on.

To bad that wasn't the question... Now to answer the op's question, ur friend could go with a 255/50/17. I would recommend nitto's, but other brands make tires in that size too.

bf goodrich kdw 2 are the best bang for your buck

Hardly. :no

^^^ +1 BFG KDW2's are a ripoff. I had a set of four and they are by no means a bang for your buck tire lol.

Ahem...like I said call steeda they have all the nitto tires/sizes at the cheapest price on the web. They will hook you up quick fast and in a hurry. or your friend.

^ ahem... Nitto doesn't make a 17in drag radial for dd s197. And onlinetires.com has the best price on nittos. They sell them cheaper than I do.

So why'd you say they don't?

I wonder if Online Tires sells the NT05 and just doesn't list them ...

Because they don't.

Yes they do.

I have the BFG KDW 2's. They have performed and worn great. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

The kdw's are a very good tire, but hardly a good bang for your buck.

nt555's or fk452's...

What did you mean by DD? The 245s will fit stock wheels. Sure they won't be ideal but THEY are a Nitto DR that fits the stock wheels.

Do you know if Online Tires sells the NT05s?

That's your opinion. I would say they have been a great bang for my buck. I paid a thousand bucks for four of them installed, and I have put 40 thousand miles on them so far. And I beat the **** out of them. I've bought a lot of tires in 25 years, and these KDW's are easily one of the best sets of tires I've bought.
