tire questions
i'm gettting a set of 17 x 9.5 torq thrust 2's and was wondering what tires would be best. I'd like to go 275, 40, 17 all around but i'm up for suggestions. also if we could keep the total price under 600 that be great. i'm lookin for a tire with great bite on take off to show any challengers whats up, but i also need something with good wet traction as i live in buffalo ny.

Since you're up for suggestions...
I got the Sumitomos, only have a few thousand miles on them though. Cant say they "bite" all that well, but they are awesome on wet road and awesome on light snow! Gotta put some more miles on them to see how they hold up though. They are about $80 ea.

The best grip you can get in a streetable tire. Granted they will only last you about 10-12K miles before the tread is to low for rain use, but they are also only $161 shipped for each tire in a 275/40. Considering that a true ultra high performance "street" tire like the BFG KDs or GY GS-D3s will probably only last 15-20K miles, and cost more money, it really balances out. I buy tires more often, but I pay a little less for each tire, and have grip that is superior to any true street tire.
