Just like the title emplies: Whats a good set of tires to use both for street and strip useage? I've heard of a few different kinds, like Nitto E/T streets, but I've heard that people have trouble getting even 15K miles out of them. Anyone else here have any ideas? -Ben

 

A BFG G-Force, Toyo T1R or a Toyo P4. Those are the best that I have found.

 

i was going to get the falken ziex 512's i believe

 

believe it or not I have been pulling 2.0 60ft times on the stock tires at 17psi

 

bf goodrich kdw 2's

last very long.

i've got about 20,000 miles on them, and have plenty left.

 

where'd you get em on the rack?

 

yup.......

 

ithink for the street bf's drag radials are the best, if you have power you need them to hook. and for the track i have been recommended to stick to slicks, bc they absorb shock and prevent wheel hop that causes most of the damage. as far as regular tires, the falkens ziex 512 have good traction. but i think when you have power, you will always spin. so i think your 60 foot times will suffer a bit.

as far as being able to pull 2.0 sixty ft times on 17 inch street tires, ??? maybe possible if your not spraying on first or you dont have too mucj power. bc i have ran 13.24 on reg ziex 512 225/60 15. but i never was able to hit a 2.0,but it may be possible on a na.

 

Unfortunatly drag radials don't last very long

 

Toyo T1R or Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

 

Nitto 555Rs are the ultimate street-strip tires for the RWD guys since they are driveable in the rain. Dunno how good they do on FWD cars, but Neal pulled a 1.90 or so 60 foot on 17-inch 245 nittos.

 

My T1R's are on the way

 

Is there a common rim swapped onto the Max to run something a little wider, something cheap off another nissan I guess?

 

A lot of people run g35 rims which are 18x8 so most run a 235-245

You can get some decent 17x8 that are lighter than the g35's and are just as wide. Alittle more money but its worth it i think. g35driver is a good site to look for the g rims...edgeracing and tirerack are good for wheels that i know off..

What is cheap to you?

 

i had the falkens on my stock 17's and they worked great but yes drag radials are best.

 

I lost all respect for nitto due to previous occurances.

 

You should post your time up in the timeslip database.

 

What size are you guys ordering for the t1r's? I'm still on stock wheels and the 225/50's are not showing up on edgeracing but they are for the 235/45 17's. Would those fit on a stock wheel?

 

well I hit a 2.1 60' time on Falken Zeix 225/50/17 i've had good experience with them.

 

I just got mine on 18x8 g35 wheels at 235/40/18

 

i have the bfg drag radials for daily driving. i have yet to take them to the track but they hook up hard on the street. i have heard that they dont last very long at all though.

 

Proxes T1-R, even T1-S(not sure if there still made tho). My freind has them on his Z32, he has a few mods, but they hook really good, i borrowed them off him once to make a run, and minus the wheel hop i got i did manage a 2.14 60ft. too bad i missed 3rd
