how important are:
1. straight line grip
2. lateral (cornering) grip
3. wet traction
4. snow traction
5. longetivity (mileage)

Once we have an idea on how important these are, we can advise you better.

I have falkens i forget which one tho, but they are pretty cheap and my tires grip really well. Also i havent noticed any signs of wear yetand ive had them about 7k miles

My BFG G-Force Sports have been doing alright. I was able to get a 2.02 60' with my M6 which was better then I was able to with drag radials, but that has more to do with my crappy gear ratio and getting bogged down out of my cams power range. The BFGs are a good all around tire for daily driving.

the #1 and #5 work against each other by nature... you either chose more grip or more longetivity.
Since you seem to want traction out of the hole, a good not expensive tire is the Nitto 555R

**2-bowties&abird** · 03-26-2008, 03:40 AM

cool thats something i didnt know, i'll look into them too. thanks

Kumho Ecstas...I havn't had a problem with them...

**INMY01TA** · 04-01-2008, 08:28 PM

ya, and last i heard, people were getting ~15k out of them. which really isnt that bad for a 100AA tire

I've run the Nitto555, and the BFG g-force kdw's... both are real sticky and have about the same longevity.

my only complaints:
The Nitto's suck in even a little rain, and the kdw can get terrible road noise after a couple of thouand miles

I ran better 60' with the Nittos, but I like the look of the KDW much better (they run wider and have a bad ass thread pattern if you get the NT)

How many miles did you get out of the Nitto's?

The stickiest tires I have had on mine where eagle rsa's. It is what was on it when I got it but at like $275 a piece I didnt get the same when I replaced them. Now I have bf goodrich g-force super sports. They are supposedly a ultra high performance all season tire. They hood pretty good. But also have a set of MT E/T streets and they hook like none other.
