Tire Recommendations

[trottlebody]

Right now I have BFG G-force T/A KDW 255/45 ZR17 98Y on all four corners on 17 inch bullets. I have two new ones on the back and two near bald/one leaking on the front (Someone slashed me rear tires, the reason I have 2 old and 2 new). Im not too happy with these tires as they seem to wear pretty quick, and the sidewalls instantly get cracks in them. I need to buy two new ones to replace the front ones, what do you guys recomend? I know its not good to mix and match but I need the fronts replaced ASAP. (Im' not really looking into drag radials as it never sees the track).

I have enjoyed nitto dr's and will get them again for next tires,., superhomo's suck

How well do they last compared to an all season/ "Ultra High Performance Summer" tires as tirerack would put it?

 

[Sniperdog]

about 7k :shrug: but that is about a year for me.

I guess your right, I dont drive it too much anyway. Would I have any issues with 255/50 NT555's?

Nittos or Toyos (same company) will get you performance and tire life for sure. :thumbsup:

I have the reg 555's in front, only issues would be traction imo :shrug:

I'm running Nitto 555's in the front. I don't have any complaints.

Toyo Proxes T1R's for about 13K miles and still plenty of tread front and rear. Decent traction with the 295's out back and handling is solid. The tire tread pattern is different so unless you run all four might look funny... good tire however.

The website I was looking at had a good price for the 555's, they will be going on the back, just wanted to be positive there would be no issues with fitting.
