Get yourself some Nitto DRs for the back, you won't be disappointed.

we'll see my buddy has a set that should fit these rims so it depends on the deal i find.

You get what you pay for with tires. If you want any traction I would spring for something better. IMO.

Demon the Nexen tires are garbage. Treadlife sucks and they get no traction what so ever in rain or even on alittle sand. Spring for a better tire man. You'll be happier.

well like many others I'm strapped for $$ and spending more than $120-130ea on tires at one time is dumb. especially when I have three full sets already between my brother and I.
I've done some hunting around on what some say about those tires and they do get a pretty good review for the type of driving I'll do the most of. Summer dry weather they are similar to the toyo proxy yet slightly better than say hankook or kumho.
if I spring for the whole thing now I'll be happy enough to have them on the car for this summer. otherwise I need to wait till mid summer or later to afford better rubber.

I'm going on Vacation in April 2weeks after dyno day so $$ for that comes 1st.
so an average of $450-500 now or 600-700 for rubber later just to have what? more expensive tires?

I've had fkn mastercraft's on the car since I got it and I've only put 16.5k miles on the car in 2yrs... I think they'll get the job done.

also found out that Michelin manufactures them, so how bad can they be..

plus Navy with great power comes great responsibility.... and less traction.

Navy01z 02-24-2010 05:29 AM

Dude the BFG Gsports arent that expensive. I think I paid like 140 ea for the 17s and 180 ea for the 18s.

DemonWithin99 02-24-2010 06:50 AM

to much... i got a budget to maintain
