alright so in the spring ima be puting 4.10's in my 96 gt and will be puttin new rear tires on 245/45/17 nitto 555 will those tires grip pretty good even with the gears and all or is it gonna be interesting watchin me get traction when i get on it

 

I wouldnt recommend the Nitto 555 street tires in the rear after a 4.10 install..the car wouldnt know what traction is anymore...trust me,,,especially at the track. You will be spinning the whole time...

I have the Nitto 555 street tires with stock gearing right now..and traction is a HUGE issue as it is. Thats why I plan on getting 17 x 10.5 rims with 315 Nitto DR's in the rear to solve my traction issues....especially since im getting 4.10's in the summer to...

either get some DR's in teh back...or get a better tire...

 

well with my 17x9's without going to drag radials what would you recommend...as a better tire...as far as i knew nitto555's gripp pretty well but i dont really have any experience first hand so ill take your word for it...

 

the stock Goodyears gripped better than my 555's..I had better 60" times..

 

the Nitto DR's have pretty good wear resistance.

 

275 in the rear is always good on 17 by 9 wheels

 

alright welll throw out some brands and models yall think i should look at...i may try going like 255-265 depending on individual tires and price...

or hey how bout this alll of guys with 4.10's tell me what your runnin on the back tires lol...

 

pirelli pzero nero
pirelli pzero rosso

 

BFG drag radials!!!!!!! cept i didnt order my 4.10s yet but im sure its goin to be great fun! lol and you get to see my rims tomorrow at school!!!yay

 

yeaa you monkey..i get to see your rims lil bast**d you mean you grew some nutz and used ur lil muscles and took your rims off and put the new ones on without the impact wrench...wowowowoowowowwo

 

315's on 17x10.5 are even better

 

The Nitto 555 streets were dissapointing to me in terms of grip. Stock tires were much better.

 

Woah! I got way better traction with the 555's then the stock Goodyear POS tires. I did go with the 275's, but with stock tire's the best 60 i got was a 2.2, with just the nitto's it dropped to a 1.9. I say get them, for the price I don't think you can get any better.

 

i looked into the pzero nero's that matt suggested they would run me 140 a piece for 245's...what size to do you have in the back matt 245's or bigger cuz you have the 3.90's (real close to 4.10) and your runnin mid 13 so you have got to be getting decent traction with them and if those are just 245's ima be buyin them up...

 

are you talking 555R drag radials? Because thats a very impressive 60ft for a street tire.

 

i second that... putting them on my mustang as soon as they come in.

 

nope just the 555 street tire, I cut a 1.9649 60'
