What tires do you use, and why?

Khumo 712's @ $88.00 a piece I couldn't turn them down...my evaluation: decent overall traction, stable at high speed, and decent wear for the money. If your looking for a low profile tire to have traction in rain/snow...forget it. I paid a crap load of money for Dunlops because of the W rating and my Khumo's are much better in all aspects. I would say a happy medium would be the NITTOs...only one way to find out.
 
I have BFG g-force T/A KD 265/35/18 on the front and BFG G-force T/A Drag Radials 295/35/18 on the back for maximun traction on the track. The drag radials last about 3000 miles or less, but my stang sees 2000+ or so during the year....and they are super sticky! :nice:

I'm looking at new tires, maybe Nittos. What tires are you guys using and why. I see alot of you are using the Nitto, are they any good?

all these guys named very good tires for the price. It all depends on your budget and what you want out of them. Yes, the nitto's tend to slip in cold and wet weather. Other than that they are a very good tire. My next tire is going to be Hankook Ventus up front and nitto DR's in the rear. :banana:
 
265/35-18 and 295/35-18 Yokohama AVS Sport. Responsive and grippy :nice:

315/13-17 BFG Comp T/A Drag Radial for the track. Probably the most grip you're going to get out of a 17" tire.
 
275/40/17 all 4 corners Sumo HRZ(?) II's . Outstanding in the dry, great in the rain, hooks decently at the track (2.1-2.0 60's), cool tread pattern, and very well priced.
 
i have cheap khumo 711's 255/45/17s right now(78 each) they appear to actually be more towards a 245 size though. they suck at the track only 2.0s, but i go through tires so quickly i'd rather give up a little in my 60' when on street tires.

i had 255/45/17 sumitomo htrzII's before, very wide for the size, more like a 265 in reality, hooked decent at the track, i pulled consistent mid 1.9s on them great in the rain.
 
I am running 275/35/18 F and 295/35/18 R Toyo T1-S's and I love them. They tracked a little at first, but now that they are broken in the are great. Ride well, handle awesome and good in the rain. I am very happy with my purchase.
