Non-Raptor Sticky Tires

[Maxx2893]

Ok guys I know several of y'all have quick cars and need yalls opinion. I need some sticky tires for a fairly high HP car, about 604 at tires. It's got stock Michelin Pilots on it and hooks ok unless you really get in to it.

I'm looking for some really good tires for grip. It'll never be intentionally driven in rain, only if we get caught in it when out somewhere. Must be street legal.

If y'all have suggestions and why you like em, please let me know.

What kind of performance you looking for?

I use Nitto NT05s on my supercharged SLK55; not for standing water, but competent on wet roads.
If the NT05R is available in your size, go for it, but slow down on wet roads.

Thanks for the recommendation

What kind of performance you looking for?

not necessarily looking to own the track but I would say something middle of the road. Right now I can't definitively say so I guess I need to figure that out lol.

I mean I'm not looking for drag slicks. We rarely go to the track but do like to punch it quite a bit. That's not to say we never go to the track though. So I guess I am looking at the very extreme edge of street tires or track tires that are street legal.

Thanks for the recommendation and telling me your experience with them.

Guess I should add that rears are 20's fronts are 19's, because of the big Brembo's so size will probably be an issue

If your talking about drag racing then Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials are pretty much the best out there. Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

That's what I run on my cobra.

Are you a track guy, 1/4 guy, auto-x guy, stop light grand Prix guy? Very different tires needed for each.
