Default Tires
hey looking into new tires, i have pretty small (width wise) tires as of right now i was looking into something for street/strip tires, what are reasonably priced/ good width tires for such an occasion? i was looking into 235/35/18 up front and 285s for the rear would this be a good application? my budget is around 500- 550 for spending because i also need to get new wheels. i was looking at nexen and their N7000 series, they seem to have good reviews for their tires. please gimme some input

Not always true, but remember usually the softer the tire the quicker the wear. I can not speak on behalf of the Nexen tires, I have never used them. BFG has some nice tires, but a little on the pricey side. Their KDW's are excellent performing tires, they do wear some what fast. Yokohama also has some very good performing tires, again they can be high priced. I have used & still currently run Yokohama tires on my daily driven cars. We ran the Parada models, but now we have the S.drives. On my other cars I run Kumho tires, they have more affordable tires for the type of driving these cars see. The Kumho Escta V700 & the Victoryracer are great for the track. I believe Kumho actually has a 100 rebate, you should check out their site.
