i have a little set of nittos on my new lx. im wondering whats the best tire for a mostly street driven car with some track time planned. leaning for 315's. car hass 500 at the wheels so something with some traction would be good

my nittos didnt hook on the street I ended up going with mickey thompsons for the street. they work great!! Never had them at the track yet....
My nittos did fine on the street. Just gotta remember to keep 35 psi in them on the street. They did ok at the track, the couple times I went. I think it comes down to personal preference. My nittos do ok in the rain also.

But only if I let Kenne scream at ya. LOL
If I keep more than 25psi in mine the centers wear out before the sides.Originally Posted by no1sirbutler

Let us know your parts needs! We will work to get you the lowest possible price!
Nitto DRs are pretty good for the street and strip but I only got 1,500 miles out of them when I had them on my Cobra.

16 Comp O GT Performance Pack
03 Oxford white Cobra (Gone but not forgotten)
Really???? I know my have a lot of miles and FLD passes on them and have worn evenly. This is my only set though and need replaced lol.

Ive had 4 sets now, 315-35-17's on 10.5 rims and they all were the same.
Mickey Thompson's. Sh*tty in the rain though.
Not sure the size of mine but they are on the stock 17x8 wheels. I honestly have no complaints w/ them.

i had nto5r's on my old fox and they hoocked great but that was on a 370whp car i dont know howd they would do on this plus i want something that wont kill me in the rain if i had to drive it
shittos are are about best for daily use. mickeys are best for traction in drag radials
My Mickey are terrible in the rain. I got caught once in the rain and it was like driving on ice. If your not driving the car in the rain go with mickeys. Or if you'll drive it once or twice in the rain go mickeys. Huge upgrade over the nittos.
I've been on the 555R extreme DR's for 3years n luv'd them from all aspects, they did well on the street/strip and wore pretty well too. But um lookin into gettin a new set on my 315's n um leaned toward either the newer Nitto NT05r's DR or the M/T DR II's. Um gonna do some research over the winter thou. Gonna check into and look at M/H, Goodyear and the Toyo's and maybe a few other DR's!

I always thought mostly stock 2v's would be able hook up on 225 wide snow tires.
+1 on Mickeys.

BFG Dr's work well.
Thats what I rode and despite being wrong wheel drive I think I cut a few 1.9's on them.
They seem to hook well on the track, and wear nicely. Just a nice in between tire IMO. Plus I was never worried in the rain.
My nittos had excellent wear, but you had to torch them to get any hook at all.
MT's are definitely the way to go if you are looking for traction.... i was able to hook pretty well on my 255/50/16 mickey's with 700 rwtq...
