Click to expand...

Nitto 245/50/16 drag radials or
BFG 255/50/16 drag radials

The BFGs are they the Comp T or the G-Force T/A?

Geeze where do you buy these dang things? I went to BFG's site and used the tire selector and it told me nothing they sell would fit my stock rim? What's up with that?

Tirerack has the BFG T/A KDWs in a 245/50/16. They usually have the cheapest prices you will find.

I'm using Bridgestone Potenza RE950's they're not a drag radial but as far as all around performance, wet/dry tration and tread wear go they're awesome. Kinda of a pricey tire though...

I currently have the BFG G-Force KDWS...245/50/16's all around and they are a great tire for the price...they won't spin in 1st with 373's, full exhaust, and pretty much every bolt-on...but now it is a different story with the h/c/i...I would buy these tires again but I need even more traction so I'm going to go with Nitto Dr's...

The reason why that website can't find your size for your rims is because it is assuming your wanting the stock size tire that came on your rim from the factory...and not wider...

i have bfg radial T/A's 245/50r16 and i have no complaints, nice and sticky (not as sticky as a drag radial obviously) but they do the trick for me, and they were fairly cheap, just over $110 CDN each
