Tire thought & question

[V8KILLR@msn.com]

Sorry to post this two times and this maybe the wrong place to post, but I was hoping to hear what others think!!!!

I had some Yokohama AVS, that were 235/60R15 and they held all the way down to low 13sec. Plus they were a very streetably tire. They had long life (30,000 miles) and still had very good performance. I feel that I could use these tires 24x7x365, if there was a little more meat, 255/60R15 or 275/50R15. There is just no good wide streetably tires out there. You can go with the BFG radials that are wide, come in a lot of sizes, low prize, long tire life, but don’t hook for SH*T or you can get the Nitto 555R that are wide, come in some sizes, ok prize, very short tire life , but hook very nice for the street (same thing for the BFG street slicks).

Thanks,
Jason

You just can't get the best of both worlds here, unless you want to spend the $ to by DR's every 10K miles. It's either one or the other IMO.

Try running 275/60's like I do (BFG's) on the street. They are taller, so your spool up will be a bit slower, but they will take more power to break loose. I break mine loose with anything more than 15 psi, but hey, their cheap and last about 30,000 miles (or they say they do ).

Good luck.
