I've got 02 Gt with the factory 17 bullit wheels and tires. I need a tire that is going to hook up the best and also be very streetable. I was told the nitto drag radial would be my best option. Also I'm very tire ignorrant and need to know what sizes I should get. Thanks a million
Drag radials are the best if you're not worried about tire life,they will typically last about 10-15000 miles depending on your driving style. Other than that,you're gonna get what you pay for...so get the best tires you can afford,as long as they're a name brand.
Size-front-245/45-17
rear-you can run a 275 but the factory width rim will not let the full tread touch the gound and you're no further ahead. a 255 or 265 is lots.
Except I'd go for NT555R2 on the front, it's a semi slick and similar compound to the DR on the back but with a stiffer side wall, should give you more cornering grip and less plough on understeer.
I was unaware of the Nittos lasting only about 15k. Money isn't a factor in this so I would like whichever would hook up the best and last the longest heh. Maybe asking too much but that's what I am looking for.

BFG KDW and Nitto NT555 are what i have found to be the best of both worlds... you will sacrafice grip, but get more life then a strait drag radial (BFG KD, and nitto DR). i got around 20-25 on each and was pleased with the grip. the BFG KD would be my choice if money and longevity was not the largest concern, however i put down 200-400 miles a day, so i have to leave grip behind currently and need longevity (so i have the fuzion ZRI)
