:iagree: These are probably the best DR out right now......longevity is a different issue as they're very soft.....but you will hook like a mofo fosho.

If you are in snow. BFG KDWS

There are two kinds. ET Streets are usually for the Track and ET Streets DR.

I run ET Streets at the track and ET Streets DR on the street.

[Mr. Luos]

Sorry.
I was refering to the DR's.
Post was kinda a joke though. Hope he doesn't look for those in snowy climates. :lol:

I have TOYO Proxes 4, 275/40ZR17 and they are excellent, especially in the wet.

They are alll season tires. In Ottawa there is feet of snow in the winter so I use snow tires from Nov-Apr

Now would be a good time to look for some rims and ditch the 16"

if your not afraid of "preowned" you might be able to pick up a set of rims and tires for not much more that new 17" tires would run.............:yup:

[Terrance]

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 or Goodyear Eagle ZR(GATORBACK)

[Trans Am 020182]

i have a set of TOYO Proxes and Eagle F1 GS-D3 both or very nice but the toyos or a SOB in heavy rain but they hook up really well at the strip on the weekends, and they coast less than the goodyears

The Pirrelli P Zero Nero M&S are great all season tire and not to expensive at that. Check out Tire Rack for ratings http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=UHPAS&width=275/&ratio=40&diameter=17&tireSearch=true

Seperate summer and winter tires is the way to go. Even in the cold without the snow the summer tires get crappy for traction. I'm running gs-d3's 18" summer and Eagle Ultra Grip GW3's 16" for the winter. This works great and it doesn't take long to swap tires this way. Goodyear Assurace Tripple Tread or Perrelli P Zero Nero M&S are both good if your on a buget and don't want to swap tires.
