Can someone help me here I am looking for the best street tire for street racing now I'm leaning toward the NITTO'S 555's EXTREME PERFORMANCE I hear they are one of the best.Does anyone know maybe a better one?

 

What kind of racing??? The Nitto you mention is a DR. BFG is better and MT is even better, but they're softer so they wear out quicker. Hoosier also makes a DR now IIRC.

Now if you want something that you can actually safely drive in the rain, BFG KD, Kumho MX, GY GSD3, to name a few.

Go onto tirerack.com and read the reviews and tests on the tires for info.

 

Street racing and I'm not worried about rain..

 

I'd go with the Nitto DR myself. It will work very well on a non-prepped surface and it won't wear out in 3-5k.

Does anyone know what the widest tire I can put on a 17x10 wheel without it sticking out or rubbing my ground effects is it 275/40?
