dr question
Looking for some dr's for my car, I have the stock wheels on my car (17 x ?). I have had 315/35/17 Nitto 555 dr's and they are ok. What is the best dr that I can get that has good stick, but will last a long time, it will be driven everyday, and at the strip every once in a while.

Nitto.
If you have the stock wheels, you shouldn't be running a 315.

less width in a tire has nothing to do with sidewall size, a 315/35 is the same height as a 275/40

Mickey Thompson's are up there as well as far as stickiness...but forget tread life man, I'd get some wheels w/ your radials and have two sets of back tires, one for racing, one for daily driving. Just my opinion man.

what will happen is the tire sidewalls will 'roll' more. this makes for less cornering ability. better straightline launching. the thing to really look for is the tread width vs rim width. once the tread width exceeds the rim width is when it starts to 'roll'. meaning the tread area gets pulled out of shape. i run the 315 on my 9.5" wheels. it's fine. 9" is pushing it though.
