Street Tires

[PatrickStapler]

Noticed today we will need to buy tires for Holly’s car in a few months. It has what I assume you be the OEM Pirelli tires on it…with less than 12K miles. Not sure how that is possible. Or do they just come with shallow tread depth?

Anyway, what is the general consensus on a good replacement? Can I go wider?

Which wheels are on Holly's? 19 front 20 rear ?

 

[PatrickStapler]

I’m pretty sure it’s 19” square

 

[PatrickStapler]

It’s just a base GT.

 

[KazarS197]

This looks like it pretty much maxes out tire sizes on OE wheels depending on width not using spacers.

I like the Nitto NT 555 G2 as a summer.
Depends if your looking for all seasons or summer. Start at $155 and work your way down to meet your parameters. Stay away from Ps.

When looking for street tires I factor in rebates. Here's the current list. I don't know which tires are included in them.

The Pirelli tires sux. They came with car new.. Now I use Continental extreme sports for my street tires now, and love them. Have 3r’s now for track tires but will go Continental extreme Force next.

I've never been a fan of Nittos in the rain, they were a handful on my 07 Gt500. The Goodyear Supercars are much better behaved. I'm sure there are others, but those Goodyear Supercar 3s we ran at Daytona in the WRL wet or dry, have really sold me on them.. There might be better stuff out there, but I've seen those Goodyears with my own eyes.

Are you a USAA member because you get a huge discount with them if so ( look under Perks ). The issue on tires comes down entirely on what you are looking for, and if just a good ride, solid in the rain , and good performance you open up a ton of rubber donuts. If you are looking for something to occasionally autocross or go on track then that will cause the selection to go down a bunch.

I do have to politely agree with Blacksheep ( sorry good buddy Kazar ) but those of us who have run on street tires for almost 6 decades commonly refer to the tires you mentioned as Schittos ! They do nothing really well except they be cheap, ha!

Actually Bill, I had a set of Nitto 555s and I found they performed admirably as a tire to put on the car while it sat in the garage over the winter. Then, when I sold the car, they were a fine tire to put on the car to sell it. So in fact, they do a couple of things well.

You Canadians are always so inventive and find uses for almost everything, ha!

Ditto on Conti Extreme Contact for the street, with the bonus of being about the best in class in the rain - I have them on my stock ’13 Boss and Luke P from tire rack did not lie. Excellent in the dry too.
