just wondering what everyone opinions are on the best street tires for a turbo 350whp+ street tC.
traction is of course a mafor issue right now for me and im only at 330whp on stock tires and stock clutch (been 2 months hehe)
price is not an issue really.
also the tires will be going on 17 inch advans if that matters
so.....
best tires for this application?
thanks in advance forum nubs

BFGoodrich G-Force TA KDW

Goodyear Eagle F1's there are 3 grades of them a friend of mine has them of her 420whp srt-4 she can usually grab around 3rd lol but other than that she said they are amazing tire hers kinda look like the toyo t1r's as i said there are 3 diff ones like the z06 comes with the eagle f1 supercar tires i think hers are one step below that

also, you gotta take into consideration treadwear. good grippy tires can be expensive and not last long.

im supercharged...pushin nowhere near your numbers...but i've got the Nitto NT 555's and they're the best both in grip (wet and dry weather) and in treadwear (first set lasted 2 1/2 years)

scion_jon

awesome buddah.

just to put in perspective, since your car is running 350hp (op)

my dad has a supercharged 400whp jag s type R. had the nitto 555's and the tires were reallly great, lasted very long about the same as buddah stated his did. so you see they are an impressive tire that meets the needs of cars that are pushing some ponies, and ill say again they are wonderful on wet roads...

x2 for the Nitto NT-555s. Even without any power adders they are the best tire, I have found, for the money.

looks like the Nitto Nt-555 are the way to go
thanks
and thanks jon for the comparison with the type r, i was hoping the tires would do well with our wrong wheel drive cars

scion_jon

i hope my kumhos hold up alright with the TT kit on there... doubtful though. let me know how those nittos are if you get them, matt

Mightygnu

Nitto Nt-555 for sure!

Another thing you might want to consider besides tires is LSD + Clutch + Flywheel if money isn't the issue.

jaxtcracer

olaHalo
