I have a set of FR500 style rims that are 18x9 and 18x10s. I was thinking about taking my 17" M/T off and run these awhile. So I need to get some decent tires for them. What tire size and brand do you guys recommend for street use?
Have to disagree. My 18" Toyo 295 Proxes Sport hook better than my 315 NT05 17's didSame as big dad 18x9-275/35/18 front 18x10.5-295/35/18 Nitto NT05. Pretty good tire.
No I'm on just the nt05. I daily drive mine. They may have made a change since you had them. I hook well in second. I was spinning second on bfgoodrich. I'm only lightly modded and don't launch hard either though. Good to know when I upgrade some more though.Have to disagree. My 18" Toyo 295 Proxes Sport hook better than my 315 NT05 17's did
These suck IMO unless you have the R compound. ie get NT05R
Ran the NT01R - it was decent too
Strictly looks the r888’s do look very nice with there tread pattern. I think they hook like garbage.Thanks everyone. These will be more of a car show tire as I have ET Streets for the track. Also debating which to use on the dyno coming up. ET streets or a great street tire.

Don't use a "track tire" on the dyno, they are soft and get chewed up real quick.

yep. and they will cause the readings to be lower too. they can also make contact with the fender at higher dyno speeds when the tire really starts to grow, depending on suspension/tire size etc.Don't use a "track tire" on the dyno, they are soft and get chewed up real quick.

Garbage is what I think of the Nitto 555r. I've been able to hook at a 40mph roll in 2nd gear with r888. And my tires are nearly worn out. That's with 650+rwhp.Strictly looks the r888’s do look very nice with there tread pattern. I think they hook like garbage.
