Which tires?!?!

shad0ws · 11-12-2005, 10:14 AM

I'm about to order my rims and I need to know what size tires to get and what tire to get exactly. I want decent grip but I also want my tread to last a while. Ok, what size exactly for 17x9 and 17x10.5?

Oh by the way, I'm ordering the DD black bullits if you any of you cared.

Every place I look I'm either going to end up spending over a thousand dollars or they aren't in stock. You guys have any good sites for tires?

MattJ said the perfect size.In a 17 you should be able to find some decent tires for alot less than $1000.You will just have to look around.If you want a drag radial like a Nitto you don't need the same type for the front.Go with a regular tire and save some money.

this is true my front tires were 260 shipping included. the rears were 346 no shipping charged. so my total set up was 1200 and some change.
