Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys thought the best tire choice for my car would be, I have a 96 M6 with a 383 and 3.42 rearend. I dont want the car to hook so bad that I always have a chance of breaking somethin but I also dont want to spin through 1st and 2nd, any ideas. thanks

I have Firestone Firehawks 245/50/16's and I get good spin, but they also check up good too. But I really like these and I think Im going to get these when its time for new tires.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....odel=AVS+ES100

 

would nittos or bfg drags hook too much for me or would they be ok?

 

They'll diffinately hook up more, but if you go to the track often that would be a good investment, but for regular everyday street driving I dont know if Id go that route.

 

well what wheels are you runing? With a 383 i would sugest at least a 275 width tire or even a 315 and it will look badass while giveing you traction. If your using the stock wheels you can't go much above a 255 and thats the size the brg drag radials come in If you don't launch at 3k+ on sticky tires you most likely won't brake anything.

 

my wheels are 16X8 and im not gonna be launchin to take the front end off the ground, and i will be spendin alot of time at the track, as well as my car is only driven nights and weekends during the summer so tire wear isnt a big deal for me, i just dont want a tire to stick too much and break anything in my rearend

 

Goodyear Eagle F1s
Pirelli PZero Nero M&S

I'd get one of these if you're planning on running around on the street a lot, both are awesome tires IMO, but the Goodyears are more of a 3 season tire depending on where you are. Good luck for your 383...

 

I love my Nitto DR's

 

Well if this is a weekend/ pleasure vehicle i highly recomend some drag radials. Most people get 10,000-15,000 miles on a set including burnouts at the track and i have seen cars with dr's pull 1.6 60' so they are sticky. Nitto and bfg make them and i think the nittos last a little longer but aren't as sticky as the bfg's. I just picked up a pair of stock wheels to put some bfg dr's on for when i go to the track.
