kahmann Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Best bang for your buck = Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars If you have some extra dough to drop, I really like the Nitto NT555's on my 66. Good luck Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helge Ruchelski Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I just installed Nitto 555's- 255/45/18 front and 285/40/18 back. Very sticky, great for corners, not so great for burn outs, but they look great on Razors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomlor611 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 still cant decide ,how are the falken 912's see a sight that they are on sale for 118.00 sounds pretty cheap but maybe they are not that good of a tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uno Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Falken FK452's are great if you're looking to save money. They aren't top of the line, but you get what you pay for. And for 125-145 each they're great if your doing a lot of driving and just need some sort of all purpose tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowCar Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Goodyear F1 Supercars are a great tire. Thats what I run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odgreen001 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've got a GT 500 and they come stock with 285/40 Good Year F-1 super cars (in rear) and they DO NOT provide good traction on launches. My stock GT 500 was dyno'd w/412 rwhp and 420 lbs of torque, so if you are making close to that or more, get something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 508 RWHP, the F1's are certainly lacking traction for my SGT as well. However, compared to the stock BFG's they are like a Hoosier R6! For the money ($130-$150) you can't beat them. If you have the cash ($1800/set), go with the Toyo RA1. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I have the Nitto 555's and they have been great so far. Bought them from Discount Tire, the service is first class in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
