what tires to use?

[TXSVT1]

What tires are the best for daily driving and for use at the track with stock 19'? Toyos ? Nitto 555? Going to the track Friday and having traction issues.
Thanks for any info

I'm running 555R and they seem decent for street, I have a lot of power and I still spin them but not too bad. And they are drag radials so you can track them too.

I just installed Toyo R888's in the rear and with 550rwhp they hook surprisingly well. They are a racing compound tire and from what I've read guys can get 10k miles on them which is more than DR's.

How much were the toyo r888 ? And nitto 555r?

Toyos were $375/piece for 285/35/20

The only problem I have with these tires is the sizing!! I cant find a decent size in a 27" diameter! 285-35-19 would be perfect!! Or even a 295-35-19

the closest is (26.5") a 305-30-19 which is too wide for my 9.5" wheels!

i was planning on getting michelin ps2's my friend has them and he hooks well in 1st from a dig with about 400~ whp which is good enough for me! i currently have the yokohama advan sport they dont hook in 2nd with 3.31's so u get the idea lol

I'm running Nitto NT555r for daily driving. Hook well on the street and the track when they are warm.

These would fit even though I have 19 inch rims ?

Those are for my 20" rims you'd have to check Toyo's site to see if they something for the 19"'s.
