tires

**o2 double s camaro** · 03-18-2010, 07:05 AM

i need a set of tires i was thinking of the nitto nt 555, but discount tire direct doesn't ship nittos to Canada anymore since a week ago. Ive been trying to contact them for two weeks i finally get a hold of them and thats what they tell me just my luck. Any tires that you guys or girls recommend.
also i want to be able to rotate them, so no drag radials and good dry and wet traction.

what are specifically looking for in the tire?

**RJWZ28** · 03-22-2010, 09:15 PM

What kind of price range are you looking for? Planning to bump up in size, or no?

**o2 double s camaro** · 03-24-2010, 05:09 AM

Im gonna keep the stock size 275 40 17 and i want to be able to rotate them.
my cars a daily driver in the summer so i need them to be good in the rain, also i do kind of have a heavy foot, i drive aggressively, my price range is about 180-220 a tire. i want a tire that grips well around corners and has good traction in wet or dry roads, but i also want them to last.

I was at the tire rack last week ordering tires and these were the 3 best the sales guy recommended and they are all within your price range but from what he said the Michelins were the best and it looks like they have a $70 rebate if you buy 4...I do have some eagle gs-d3s i need to get rid of with 90% of the tread left in this size

I paid $950 for a set of 18" BFG KDW NT's. For you 17's you could get them enem cheaper. If your looking for place to order from and get a good deal a a great selection, I have ordered alot if tires for my old car and several sets for friends. tires-easy.com and my friend just ordered at set of tires for his Lexus and paid under $450 shipped for 245/40r18. Check them out the sell Nitto's, BFG's, Yokahama's, and everything in between. Best slextion of tires I've found and the cheapest prices and shipping.

No car isn't lowered still stock suspension, rolled fender lips, got nittos on Z06 replicas (18X10.5) I think they have a +59 offset.

the 305s will fit but the only thing I'm unsure about is the 45 sidewall

Thanks thats what I seem to be getting from other people! That really sux then, cus 35 or 40s side wall is a little more expensive.

Factory tires are 26" that size would be almost 29"! That's a pretty huge difference.

**RyanJM** · 04-03-2010, 02:07 AM

I would think with that difference in side wall height you could fit it in a thinner and rime that would tuck inside the 1/4 with the fender rolled but at that width and rim size if you hit a hard enough dip in the road it probably do some damage to your 1/4 panel and the tire.
