315/35/18.. should be a nice fit

come on guys, i know theres more than one person running big tires. give me some input on sizes!

They should fit with no problems. I plan on buying these when we buy a beater in a couple of weeks. BFG DR's 315/30's

Yeah I've seen some 335/30/18's on before (Nitto's of course) Nittos always run a little narrower

 

[SaleenGT2001]

which ones will hook better, the bfg's or the nitto 555r's?

 

[ab 281 gt]

BFG's for sure.

BFG's for sure.

Yep. They're made with a stickier compound or something like that but that also decreases the tread life. That's why I'm waiting to get a beater before I buy them. That way those tires will last a while on my Roush.

about how long will they last? 10k miles?

No way of telling bro. It all depends on driving style and habits. Make alot of trips to the track? Do burnouts at the Sonic drive-in? Haul ass at every green light? lol
