Power output?

I went with a set of Falken ZE512's just to hold me over till I got new wheels, cause they were like $82/tire on sale, but they're good tires all around. I'd buy them again

**StangKiller615** · 10-24-2006, 07:24 AM

Im running the Nitto Nt 555's, I love them thus far.

**01blkformula** · 10-24-2006, 07:24 AM

yes they do i run a set, talk about hooking up on the street like no other,

there called ET street radials

**SSwt00SS** · 10-24-2006, 07:41 AM

I had the Nitto DR in 315's on the rear and loved 'em. Went through them fast and now have Federal SS 595's on the rear (275). Have the 555r's on the front and love 'em. On the old 95 I had Pirrelli P Zero Nero M+S and they were awesome and only a fraction of Michelins (pricewise). Tirerack the two and you will see, every bit as good...

**third_shift|studios** · 10-24-2006, 07:43 AM

that's some good input! thanks SSwt00SS!

Damn I guess its true when they say you learn something new everyday.

**Zboner** · 10-24-2006, 07:58 AM

if you have the money, i really want to give advice to get them man, only problem is you cant drive in the rain or snow at all, so you will need a beater car for sure

Yeah...and those will last all of 3,000 miles if they aren't raced.
But yeah...they hook. My car has the 275/50/15's on the back right now.
Honestly though...on the street my Nitto DR's hook just as well.

**SS#1531** · 10-24-2006, 11:52 AM

I run BFG KDW's. Great tires for the money!

**94z28l** · 10-24-2006, 12:16 PM

MT ET streets FTW at the track

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 10-24-2006, 12:30 PM

The tire choice of brand for me depends on the type of car it is, what I want to spend on tires and what I want to use them for. I don't think there is one best tire out there for everything. If you think there is then you will be compromising in one area or another. I've had good and bad experiences with quite a few different brands. So I'm not loyal to any manufacturer.

Yea, no doubt, good points. That's exactly why I like the Falkens, they may not be great in any one area, but they're godd in all

I'm running Yokohamas now and love them. I've had Firestone Firehawks and Goodyears from the factory and HATED them. I put Kumhos on while I was still using the 16 inch rims and they were VERY good for the money.
