Stock wheels?

I have 275/40/17 BFG KDW's on my 17x9" 03 Cobra wheels and they are wonderful tires...great in the rain too...

You would want to stick with the stock size tires of 245/45/17 though if you have stock wheels still...

I also am a fan of GoodYear's new F1 the DS-G3.

If you can find them. I got 255s on the front since I could not find 275s anywhere. I got both 285s and 315s for the rear but running 285s for now until I get my spacers. They hook up pretty good for a street tire. Even better as you put some miles on them too.

Best tires I have run yet, I had the old F1s from a 2003 cobra and a few sets of BFG KDWs. These DS-G3's kick butt. Plus they look very mean!!!

I also got sick of hydo-planing on Nitto DRs and BFG DRs, too scary for me in the rain.
