I am just about to finish my build, and I was wondering what tire to go with. I will be making somewhere in the range of 450-500 whp. I will be using my stock AP1 wheels with a 255/50-16 tire. What tire have you guys found that you really like. I'm really liking the Nitto NT01 and the Hoosier drag radials. Any thoughts??

 

im running street tires with 550hp on the road and hooking just fine, what are your goals? track car or street car?

 

Street with occasional strip use. What size/brand tires are you using?

 

I had 255 RT615ks last year, loved em, but there just too costly.. I will be on 265/40/17 Star Sepcs this year..

 

i can not believe u liked those tires. i had falken 615's and spun them in second gear with 344 whp. bleh.

R COMPS FTW yes i am a fanboi of them. so what, ive been on a few different tires with different power levels. r comps have been the best.

 

nt 01s are really nice, thats what i will be going with

 

nitto nt555r on stock ap1 wheels. I'm making 500 and they hook.

 

any one tried these yet?

The Nt555RII is a D.O.T.-compliant road race competition radial designed with the muscle car racer in mind. Using the same computer-designed tread pattern as the NT555R, the Nt555RII has been thoroughly updated to handle the task of road racing. Construction modifications were made to enhance cornering feedback, controllability and stability. The tire comes molded at 6/32nd of an inch.

UTQG Treadwear: 100
Traction: A

There was a HUGE difference in the regular rt615s and the Ks the compound change made for n awesome tire, I think one of their biggest mistakes was making the name so similar

 

NT-05 in front and MT Drag Radials in the rear. You will have no problem hooking with that combo!
