Looking for some new tires

[xenodragon]

I would like a set of DR's for my 04 cobra...i have recently got a pin hole in the stock ones and the left front tire drops to about 15psi once a week. The tread is all gone too (3 years i guess was as long as they last)

I am looking for a decent set that will hook pretty nice on the street, but could be used for everyday driving as well. I am trying to keep the price as low as i can too.

Any help?

Nittoz seem popular?

Nitto's are decently priced, hook good on the street, and last a while, especially compared to others....

what are some tire sizes or part#'s i should be looking up. I think tirerack is a good place to order them from?

I think you can be a bit more resourceful mr. xenodragon but I will offer some help none the less.

Ok I assume you have 17" wheels....? Here is prices, part#'s, and where to get them......

Good day.

I know i know i can...but I need to be led by the hand...otherwise i end up buying the wrong things...i.e. the wrong size belt for a pulley i bought =(.

Yes 17 inch wheels.

Thanks for the links though

One more dumb question as I am a complete n00b.

What size would be good for the rears? I dont want ridiculously large, but i want something a little larger than stock

GRRRRR!!!

Ok, I assume your current tires are 245's front and rear......?

Both of the tires I linked you too are wider than stock....275's and 315's. Either would work for your 17" wheels, just depends on how wide you want to go.

I think your're trying to get 4 new tires as well in which case the ones I linked you to are for the REAR ONLY.

Search the dicount tire site that I linked you too for some front, non-drag radial tires.

Bad Assumption, MrClean. '03/'04 Cobras have 275s stock.

I've heard from many people that the mickey thompson drag radials are the best ones out there. My brother has them on his 71 nova and they dead hook and its a high 11 second car on motor

[lynchmob]

Mickey Thompson's all the way! They might not last as long as the Nitto's, but like the man said above me, they dead hook.

What would you guys suggest for up front. Nitto's in the back probably 315's...does it make sense to go 315's in front? Or is that way to wide?

275's in the front is plenty.
