Luke: i need to buy tires for my 2000 Lightning

Luke, i'm looking to buy four new tires for my 2000 Lightning. It currently has Nitto 555's on it now, but i'm looking for the best dry traction and treadlife tire i can get for cheap. I'm looking to stay stock size, what would be your recomendations and price differences for each tire. Thank you so much, good customer service is hard to come by these days!

Hi, Luke. I had a question. I'm looking for summer tires next year for my 04' SVT Focus. 215/45/17. What is your opinion on the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx? And, what other recommendable series would you consider? Thanks.

Hi Luke,

I've been running BFG KDWS from you guys the past couple of years. My only complaint is the short tread life. Was thinking I'd save a few bucks this time around and was considering the Kumho Ecsta ASX. I really would like to stick w/ a 255/45/17. I don't see it listed online but I know tirerack shows them. Can you get this size? If so, how much?

Thanks!

285/17 too small

Hi Luke

I recently bought a set of Firestone FireHawk Wide Ovals for my Mach1. I have the AFS 10.5 inch Mach1 replicas on the back and the stock 8 inch wheels on the front so I have been running 245/17 on the front and 285/17 on the rear. I plan on going to a 9 inch wheel on the front the next time I buy tires. I ran the BFG KDWs before and a 285 seemed fine on my 10.5 wheels. The Firestones are a little narrower. They fit, but even with the BFGs I think a 295/17 would fit better. The trouble is I couldn't find anything larger than the 285s on your webite. What tires do you have available in 295 or 305? Do you have to special order them? What size do you recommend for 9 inch wide 17s? :read:

Thanks
mark

Ordered a set of Falken RT-615's today from Luke and want to thank the service I got over the phone. I can't wait to get my 315/30/18's in and on my car. I'll let everyone know how they hook and look on our rides. Last the price was the best that I could find!! I'll be ordering more whenever needed in the future.

Will the Nitto 275 40 17 drag radial fit a stock 17x8 inch rim for a 01 svt? Went to a chain and said that the tire was too wide and they wouldnt mount it. I dont have them yet and would like to get them for the rear, especially considering they are on sale
