Guys I need help on deciding what tires to go with.
I got Dunlops right now that did a phenomenal job, but I see the need
to up grade Since I am spinning like if I am riding on oil...

I've been looking at the following:
Nitto 555
BFG KDW
NItto Invo

Please give me your opinion. Keep in mind that I am pushing ~500rwhp and it's my DD. So something that performs well and yet has decent
durability.

Here's what happens to me:

rt615's aren't offered in 19''


I spoke with a few Tirerack reps and they all said the stickiest tire avail in 19'' are the Potenza RE-01R's...Read on the reviews and they have the BEST reviews out've all of the 19'' tires. The road noise is also low, that's why I went with them vs the kdw2. Mind you I had the kdw2's on my Mazda and they were really loud, it almost sounded like my tranny was making the noise.

$1,100 shipped, + they look sexy too :naughty:

I like the BFG G-sports, myself. My buddy cut a 1.8x 60' on them in his '01 Camaro SS (running 275/40/17s) and the treadwear has been excellent.

I have fallen in love with Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's, great tire, excellent traction for dry and wet and don't wear out too quickly...especially in the wet is where they shine quite well. I did some road racing in my 240SX and nobody could else beat my time that I did on a wet track....even when it dried out :)

I love this tire as well. Good grips, quiet ( I used to run on A032R before) and the car feels a lot stable. wET/DRY grip is excellent too.

I use Dunlop Dizzera now and it works great for daily driving. But out of the three you're looking for, I would go with BFG.

Go with the KDW2's, we can swap wheels/tires to see the differences :cool:

Was that vid from last Friday when we linked?

I wish they still made the Kumho V700 ECASTA's those are great, or try the Proxie RA1's. Dont even bother with the Falken Azinis they are not nearly sticky enough for 500 hp. Ask me how I know.

I have seen that the Kumho replacement for the V700 ECASTA's is V70A but I think those might be discontinued also.
