need tires, want opinions

So I found nitto nt555 for 168 on discount tire in a 275/40r18 from what Ive seen thats a damn good price, is that my best bet? or is there something else I should consider? Car is mostly a DD with few track days in richmond

forgot to mention, also get a 75$ visa card when you buy them too

I bought some cooper zeon tires to put on my boss LS wheels and I am happy with them. Cooper RS3-A up front and RS3-S in the back, so far the best tire I have used on my mustangs.

I saw the coopers damn good tire, just cant do 200+ right now.
I know sounds stupid for that biga tire

What about toyo proxes? I believe they are pretty inexpensive and an all around good tire. I know to stay away from sumitomo, I had those before and they were a horrible tire. Hard compound, they wore fast they didn't stick well on wet roads also.

They weren't bad on my Cobra. If they're the 555r's I wouldn't put them all around though, I don't recall ever seeing the street radials for that cheap.

555 is a good tire. I've had Hankook ventus v12 in 275/40/18. Fantastic tire. They also have a rebate right now.

I was just looking recently and I think one of the better deals was the Sumitomo htz II's from tire rack at $120 each. Shipping to Richmond would be about $53 for four. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...8HTRZ2V2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

ive heard the same and all the people that do like them are honda guys. that should be an automatic red flag haha. Never did find any toyo proxes

ended up biting the bullet on the nittos, its true they were 168$ plus got my rebate "its over now" but it seems like the best bang for the buck to me

 

[Mustang-mike]

Awesome! As long as they're not sumitomos

I've never had any problems with my nittos
