Hey. i jsut got my TA. Its a 99 with a few mods.... ram air (suncoast) borla, MAF, underdrive pullys, strut towers and frame tied. Lowered 2 inches also. The car right now has some 18" privat rims. they are 18x8. The tires are shot and i need new ones. I want a tire for these that will last but still hook up well. What brand and size do you think for the 18s? This will be daily driver tire. Also the stock TA chromes i was thinking of going with DRs. What size and brand of these should i get? Thank you.

remember...you cant have the best of both worlds when it comes to treadwear and great dry traction....... the closest performer is the bf goodrich kdw. i'd get those........Originally posted by Superman09
drag radials?..well... ive heard pros and cons about who's is the best...nito''s seem to be the fav of alot of folks....
size's: 245/40r18 for the kdw's... just a smidgeon taller than the oe tire but wont throw things off at all.... thats widest tire you can put on an 8" rim without going against manuf.'s recommendations.
255/50r16 on the dr's... a little longer footprint... and you dont really care if your speedo is that accurate (they are only .5" taller than oe.)
