Buying new rear tires want your input!

[Fast02]

Due to my rim size of 10.5" some 285X tires dont fit the rim. So Im going to pick up 2 315x tires. I've had Drag radials in the past but they only last me about 8k miles. I was all set in buying the Eagle F1's ($279ea)but I like to spin the rear tires allot....so Im thinking of going with Sumitomo HTR Z @ $119 ea.

Is there a better 315x tire out there

I have had on my michelin pilot sports on for about 20k miles now..and I still have some good tread left. I got them for 300 each on tirerack.com I put them on in 2002 or so...

If you are just gonna burn em off go with the cheapest thing you can find.

Just get some normal street tires for everyday driving, and get some M/T's for the track.

what type of DRs did you have before? if you want DRs again, i would suggest the Nitto DRs. they seem to get a lot more miles out of them than other DRs. they also dont wear quite as fast as others even when leaving some rubber on the road.

I just put Eagle F1's 285/40ZR17's on my 10.5" rims and the fit perfect and look tough.

Is the tire protecting the rim? Do you have any pics? Thanks!

I ended up getting the sumotoes hrz whatevers for $119 from tirerack.

This set needs to last me the summer...so no more spinning them for me. Unless there are some hotties begging for it.
