About time to start thinking about getting new tires..

[punch]

The stock tires are about gone. I need to start planing what to get. Can you guys offer me any suggestions? I'm only going to the track a handful of times so I don't need a super aggressive tire, like a dr, but I would like something that will kickass on the street.

I'm thinking nitto 555's all around. I have the stock 17x8 bullitt rims.. should i go 275 on the rears?

Potenza's any good?

Definatly go 275/40/17s in the rear. With the Nittos they look great on the car, i can take some photos of mine if you want.

The front ones arnt TOO bad but id say maybe at about 40% tread.

The rears are much worse obviously.

Casey, I'll just check em out in person.

Check out Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP. I know some people that have been running them. If you do so checking you may find out what I did. The guys that are running said they are a great tire. I did some checking and comparisons, Tread wear ect... They seem to be pretty decent. And they look great to. Just my .02
