Anyone know if anyone make a 315/55/17 or a 295/55/17 street tire? Im looking for more of a strict street tire and not a street drag radial.

Thanks

Do you have the 17" wheels, or are you looking to buy those too? Best I have is 295/45/18 (28.5" tall) on my car. I went with 18 for a little better tire selection since it is pretty popular on mustangs and such. There are a lot of 17" tires, but the width usually doesn't come with the height muscle cars need.

Nitto makes a 285/40/17, but thats still only 26" tall, and a 275/50 at 27.8"

Definitely something to consider. I looked high and low for wide/tall tires for larger wheels. Came up with my 295/45/18s, priced at $200ea. But the look right on the car! Good luck with the search.

Discounttiredirect.com is a decent place to search for sizes and such, free shipping too
