Decided to buy some cobra r replica 17x9's for front and back.
What tires do you all recomend for best looks, traction, and handling?
What are the pros and cons for the different choices?
275, 285, 295 rear?
245,255,265 front?
what about the aspect ratio?
I was thinking nittos for the rear and maybe goodyear f1's for the front.
Let me know what you think along with your experiences.
Thanks

what about these sizes: both on 17x9's
front: 255/40 ZR17 94W (8.5- (9.0) -10.0)
rear: P285/40 ZR17 95W (9.0-(10.0)-11.0)
Nitto NT555 (not the drag radials)
i decied not to get the drag radials because of the 100 tread wear rating
these tires have a 300 tread wear rating
