I'm looking for best DOT approved tyres.In your opinion which are the best..??
toyo R888 - only on this i have experiences - it's cheap and it has a good grip
yokohama advan A048
nitto 555r
BF goodrich G-FORCE drag radial T/A
etc..?

I'm looking for dimensions 205/50 or 55/15, curently i'm driving on 205/45/16 bridgestone potenza s03 (street tires)


TOYO R888


YOKOHAMA ADVAN A048



BF goodrich G-FORCE drag radial T/A


NITTO 555 R

 

BFGs have always worked best for me.

 

nitto = garbage...bfgs really impress me, ive seen mid 11s run in a EJ on bfgs

 

BFGs are the best
nitto's second best,

heat cycles are very important must heat up tires

i got a set of 205 55 14s for sale 200 obo

i have run the 225 since 205 just arnt big enough i went 1200s on 205
on 225 with alot more power i went 1150s

d

 

BFG's are the best out of the tires listed.

 

Is it possible to use that tires in wet conditions?How they behave in that conditions?
One more question.
What size tires should i buy for my civc, it will have aprox 400-450whp next season i'm talking about slick tires with rims..?
What rims, what slicks?brand, dimensions?

 

how much are those advan and yokohama?

 

the top too are just R rated tires...they're NOT drag radials...so there's really no point in wasting the money on them for street traction.


another tire is the dunlop inferno, but it's only 205/50/15

I used the bfg's in the rain and had no problem but it is not recomended.....

 

And what about the Hoosier drag radials??

 

i wouldnt drive any drag radials in the rain personally at least not on purpose, my **** go so squirrelly it aint funny, keep in mind on low boost, high boost why bother

d

 

i use the advan
they work pretty good
but MUST heat up the tire first
forget about rainy days

 

mickey thompson makes a new et street radial. the smallest tire they make is 235/60/r15 tho...

thats the ones im buying.

 

MT will be coming out wiht new sizes soon

 

my buddy went 11.61 @ 124 on bfg dr's

 

can you use the bfg's for every day driving ?

 

you easily can but they wont last very long

 

the BFGs are great, everyone in the Street Stock class this past weekend practically ran them (LOL prolly cause BFG sponsored that class) but nonetheless, everyone I spoke to were mid to low 1.9's ... I ran the old BFG Comp T/A 205/50 15 - they are about 6 years old, best 60' ever was 1.89 when my FROG was turbo a few years ago, this past weekend all motor, best 60's were 1.92s consistently.

i believe i read that somewhere, yes....

 

BF's are the shizznizz!

 

Has anyone actually used the MT streets? I'm using the bf's and once they got bald then they came to life!

 

I ran the BFGs (215-60-14) until I had a blowout on the interstate at 80mph... That wasnt too fun... BUT, the tires held together and allowed me to get off the road safely and not do any real damage... They were great tires, and for having 350+ lb ft of torque, I was very impressed with the way they hooked.... I even drove with them in the rain occasionally and it was just like any normal tire....

 

I see no postings on the hoosiers we had the proto types and are running the production line in a 16 in our whole team loves them check out more on them at
