I need new tires, the tires i have now have decent tread but I want something that will hook better. Is there a tire i can use for everyday driving that will give me like 10k miles give or take a few that has good tread. Something between a drag radial and a street tire? Is there such a thing or should i just buy a set of drags and use them sparingly? Anyone who helps thanks in advance.

 

firestone firehawk SZ50


phenominal traction and great tread wear

 

Get some Nitto DR's. They'll give anywhere from 10k-20k depending on how aggressive you drive. You can even do the Nitto Extremes. They hook pretty well, too.

 

The Firehawk is easily beat by any of the BFG G-Force tires.

 

BFG KDW tires are prob the best, however they are pricey. I run Kumho Ecsta MX tires. They slip when cold, but if they're heated they stick pretty good.

 

I've got BFG g-Forces KDWSs on my car right now. They have 16,000 miles and they're showing very little signs of wear with rotations every 3K. I paid $129/each for them back in March. They have a nice meaty tread and they handle great.

I made my first 3 passes at the local dragstrip last Wednesday and they did pretty well for a street tire. Off the line I spun a little, but I hooked up immediately and beat every car I ran, not bad seeing how I accidently drove right through the water my first time without doing a burnout.

 

and so the weekly tire post starts..

YOKOHAMA AVS ES100's! There.. done... typed it..

I paid $510 installed for my set. They hook like heck! Look up ratings at tirerack.com
