What's the best gripping non DR street tire?
Hey guys I have a question. I did a search and i couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I want the best gripping NON DRAG RADIAL street tire. I have a pair of Nitto 555r's for my GTA wheels and I love them but I want something for my Snyper's in the tune of 275/40/17. What would you guys recommend? Cost isn't that big of an issue but my biggest concern is grip and longevity. I have a set of Dunlop sport 9000's on them now and they're probably the absolute worst tire I have ever had the misfortune of driving on. They're WAY to hard and even from a 40mph punch i can bust them loose. So what do you guys think I should get?

Re: What's the best gripping non DR street tire?
ive run a few different sets of tires before..
the best tire i have even run is the BFG KDW2's.
They got so sticky that i launched the truck (07 tacoma xrunner) and smoked the clutch rather than the tires lol.
