high performance street tires
Name some good high performance street tires, i currently have the falken ziexs on my car now, and they are pretty good, just would like to know of some others. Not radials, or street radials.

even nitto's 555r's are exactly a "true" drag radial and are ideal for the street. what I used to run on a 315-35-17 and you can get their regular 555's for up front. otherwise BFG would be your other choice

I've ran the Falken's on the front of the Camaro before, and that's what's on all 4 corners on the Firehawk right now come to think of it. They're ok, but they're a little narrow looking, that's the only thing I don't like about them. Oh, and i've done 140 or so on the Falken's, so they hold up, hahaha.

No i was referring to there 555's street tire.... But with that being said i consider the Nitto 555r drag radials more like a very good street tire, not so much a drag radial.... Thats what i use to run in the street.

I know of PLENTY of high HP cars around Houston that run the Invo's. Usually Vettes and Vipers. A buddy of mine has them on his 05 Mustang and they get good traction...............but it is a Mustang, LOL. I don't think you can go wrong with them though
