Thread: So I had a sidewall crack in one of my worn out KDW's . . .

    So I had a sidewall crack in one of my worn out KDW's . . .

    So I put the tire under my pillow and went to Vegas for a week and when I got back the tire fairy had visited me, and they told me he was a myth.

    Nice :) What are you happier with the KDW's or the 555's?

    You'll love those 555r2's, one of the best dual-purpose tires ever.

    You'll like those Nitto's..I miss mine that were on the 01 GT. I will be putting 315's Nitto drags on the Cobra when these sh*tty Summitommo's or whatever these crappy things are on here now. I can't get any traction.

    Get a 10.5 inch rim to go with the 315's

    Will the 315's fit on the stock rims? If they don't I'm going to go with black FR 500 rims

    They will fit but it don't look right. I think my Fr500's look way better than the stock rims.

    Those are the Road Race version, basically the same tire with stiffer sidewalls.

    Nitto makes a great road legal tire. I've got the 555r's on the back of my Lightning in 335's. They hook about as well as you could hope for a supercharged pickup truck.
