Tire Recommendations

Hey peeps,

OK i was driving last night and some stupid kompressor thought we was cool and floored it out of the toll booth so to show him up i hung on his bumper and before you knew it I was at 110 and my car was litterally SHAKING....i have been at 130/140 and it was as smooth as ice so I know its my crap tires...therefore before I kill myself Im gonna shell out for new ones.

Anyone have recommendations?? (if u say T1R, i'll slap you )

Anyone used bridgestone reo50 pole positions?

Nitto 555's or BFG KDW2's.

What sizes are you looking for?

so Sherman is now tellin me he hated the bridgestones too

all tires are good for first 5k...but i drive ALOT and i dont want to buy new tires in 6months

I loved my Michilin's but they only have a 275/35 or 285/30. Since im running 19s, i dont want the 30s....

275s gonna look ok on 10.5" rims?

I'd go (and did) with a 285 on a 10.5 otherwise it is really stretched. It also depends on the tire. The Nitto 555's in 285 were a lot more stretched than my current KDW's in 285.

255/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear is a good combination.

Wes, my Goodyears are amazing. They are extremely quiet compared to my old Toyos. If you don't mind paying some extra $$$, get the Goodyears. They were about $1100 on TireRack...which you should do. I got screwed and bought them local for $1200, all because they said they would price match TireReack...but they didn't tell me it did not include tax.
