a-blur-by-you Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I am looking into buying a set of performance street/drag tires for the rear of my SSS 2WD. My question is I was looking to see if you knew of such a tire that has these characteristics? I was looking into a 305/50/20 tire something kind of along the lines to match the front stock tires. I did a search but really nothing pop up of someone doing this on a 2WD. I think that would look mean given a wider rear tire in the back with some grip What do ya think?? I def. DO NOT want the tire to stick out on the outside of the rim but rather filling in the inside of the wheelbase....I do have the McGaughy's 2/3 drop Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I'd look into the 295/50R20. Try not to go any taller than the stock tires if you can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_bnoon_SS Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd look into the 295/50R20. Try not to go any taller than the stock tires if you can help it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 305/50/20 is closer to the same height as the stock 275/55/20's (within .3%). The 295/50/20's are slightler shorter than stock (witin .9%) so either are "close enough". Personally, I'm going with 275/45/20's when it's time to change. Of course, being AWD, I'm just looking for the shorter gearing and not to concerned with needing to go wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any certain tire you recommend as far as a true performance tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-blur-by-you Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Do you think having the stock Goodyears up front and these http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...re1=yes&place=0 in the back would look a bit weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolutionRaceWorks Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Those BFG's are nice tires. From the F body guys I know they grab pretty well they are just costly and don't last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd recomend a Hankook RH06, Nitto's, or BFG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.justin. Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I've heard a lot of good about the KDWs and wanted a set for my truck, but ended up getting Toyo Proxes S/Ts instead. Can't help you on whether or not they rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
