Ok well I just ordered my next mod... I ordered Baer Brakes for the front. I'll actually be able to stop now . I'm hoping I get em by friday so I can put em on this weekend. Since I got the blower I have screwed up my brakes pretty bad. I warped the hell outta my rotors. Anyways, it's just about time to replace my brakes anyways, so why not upgrade em while I'm at it.

My question; I need to get some new tires soon. I wanna keep my stock rims, But I need a sticky street tire for all four corners. What size do you guys suggest? I heard Eagle F1's are good. I also was thinking about Nitto 555's... Any suggestions would help me out a lot. I don't know crap about tires.

just performance tires or all around, all year tires? I got falken ziex's, they were rated #1 by consumers for all around, all year performance. Pretty sticky, but i can break em away and i am not putting down the hp you are so i dunno. I would say goodyear or nitto's probably best.

Those are what I have now and I can't keep the power to the ground at 60+ mph. I have a friend of mine looking into goodyears for me right now.

well you probably got bout 200+ more rwhp than me lol. Good luck findin a good tire. Just get some slicks and forget about going anywhere in rain or snow.

I am Jealous!!!!!!
I want so bad to do the Baer kit on my 98!! Errgggg!!! JK
Tires.....well I suggest going to Summitracing.com and looking at their selection of tires...
The BF Comp T/A drag Radial tires are really good.
Discount tire has a great selection of Street slicks/radials that gripp well too.
I am currently looking for rear tires as well...........I am probabbly going with Yokohoma or nitto street drag radials......160$ per tire isn't too bad...

Matt: for that kind of power you need the best tire around, look for Pirelli PZero Asymetricos Ferrari uses it for a good reason .

That's an awesome tire but I think Matt is looking for more of a straight line tire. Tire Rack has them for $172 a piece. If you just want a sticky, go withsomething like a drag radial like the nitto 555R's or the BFG drag radial. Also Hoosier has a drag tire on Jegs, they say it's DOT legal but I can see problems with the police if your GT was wearing a pair of them. They look like slicks. If your looking to bang any corners hard though, those Pirellis are a good compomise.

BTW If you can't keep traction at 60mph, that means it's time to shift into 3rd

What's your guys take on the Good Year Eagle F1's? I know Pirelli's are good too. I'm looking to spend less then a grand installed for the set. These are going to be my everyday tires. I like to go through the twisties everyonce in a while. But I'm more concerned with straight line traction.

[BlueStreak03]

If you got a grand to drop on a set of tires, I'd go with the 555's and get a spare set of rims for drag radials. 555's aren't going to last long at all on that car though.

[Mana4Real]

Tires don't last long on my car anyways ... No but seriously I'm willing to spend a grand on my street tires. I'll get slicks later. I'm not really in a hurry to get slicks. I have other plans

[meatball]

Have you gone over to TireRack.com and done their comparison between ultra-performance tires? Assume you can run summer ultra-perf's? I'm running Yoka ES's on my summer wheels & Sumitomo's on the winter wheels. Attached brake pic - go for it!
