Deciding on tires
Today I just found out that my tires are rated for V6 engines(Goodyear HP rated H) only because the front right tire is beginning to tear..and the rear right tire has just begun. On the side of my door...it says it recommends Z rated tires. Can someone give me a suggest a good Z rated tire(or close to Z tires that won't tear) that has good traction and wet traction. Thanks

Nitto 555r's RULE. I have Sumitomo HTRzII's on the front. Was going to get the Yoko AVSes100, but they didn't make the right size. I know some people running them. The firestones are great too, just a hair more expensive if your strapped for cash.

Nitto 555R's definatly, AMAZING dry traction, even when they are cold, and when they are hot they turn into glue. I have yet to have a problem with them in the rain. Just dont let them get bald, my old set were bald... check the pictures in my website... and if i went over 55 and hit a puddle the car would shift

I've decide on the tires that I'm going to get. Yokohama AVS ES100. My question to you is that my shocks and probably springs are shot right now..will this effect my new tires anyway?
