High Performance 15 inch tire recommendations?
Permalink  
 

Now that the 200R4 swap is complete I believe the next update needed is some tires to replace the BFG Radial T/As. 

I would prefer not to run drag radials of some kind but there doesn't seem to be many other choices out their. 

I want to keep my 15x7 SS wheels and ideally stay with 275/60/15  28" tall tire as the speedo is calibrated for that.

If Scott or Derek or anyone else has a recommendation I would be interested to hear your opinions.

I've been pretty impressed by my Nitto NT555s. Not sure if they make your size.

I have the same wheels on my car with Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires...275/60R15 on the rear and 235/60R15 front. The 235's do rub a little on full turn and I wish I had gotten the 215/65R15's instead. Not sure if they have that size anymore.

They aren't going to be as sticky as the Nittos, but they are a HUGE improvement over the T/A's..thumbsup
