hey guys i'm gonna be buying a pair a rear tires here soon for my DD cobra and i was looking at between Nitto555's(not the drag radial) and GS-D3's....which is a stickier street tire that will hook decent with 4.30's on the street and last maybe a year or so? thanx in advance guys

Hook w/4.30's???? Not possible
Mickey Thompsons will be your best..
i did say DECENT lol but back to my ?...whats a better/sticker street tire?
GS-D3's are the better choice given your options.
what he said!:thumbsup:
The GS-D3's or Michelin Pilot Sport 2's would be the best, but also cost the most.
anyone have any first hand experiance(can't spell...lol) with GS-D3's???
GS-D3s my buddy used them with 4.10s for his DD 04 gt. they never hooked well but did ride great in all weather
Nitto 555's must be the worst performance tire i have ever had. I love the michelin pilot sports i have on my Fr500s, but the 555's I have on my Saleens suck soo much.
maybe the Nitto drag radial wouldn't be so bad if i didn't do burnouts all the time huh lol..........would the nitto DR be the better chioce?
they last longer than any other DR, and are decent in the rain.
ya but how long will they last....
They are lasting pretty well on mine, just don't do ten minute long burnouts :lol:
lol gottca.....took a look at them and there pretty pricey! just want a nice tire that will last a while and get DECENT traction with 4.30's on the street
Get the Nitto 555R. On dry pavement they do great, on wet pavement, they do even better than my yokohama h4's do. Plus they are cheap and get around 15-20k miles. :banana: OH yeah, I have 4.30's also and they hook just fine; you just have to lower the air pressure when racing.
Yeah, the grip from these tires come at a cost- tread life and $$$! They definitely grip better than the nittos in the rain, though, where the nittos will spin these won't even flinch.
what about the khumo mx?
A friend of mine has had 2 sets of those Goodyears dry rot on him in under a year on a car that's driven every single weekend. If you are crazy enough to spend all that money on them, make sure you get the longest road hazard/replacement protection they offer.
