Not much I can do about gravel roads, back to the topic at hand. Thanks for the suggestions. The big problem is that most all of the Ultra HP tires are in big wheels. I have a Plum Crazy cuda with 17" chrome Foose Legends on it and they look great and my wife thinks they are perfect, and I built the car for her, so there it is. Personally, I think that 17's look great on our old muscle if you use a 45/ 50 series tire with sidewall. I could go up to 18 on the rear, but it still seems hard to find a 27" tall tire so it won't look like a forklift tire! The car will be more of a Touring type car now, but if I could find a closer to 200 ucg tire that would be fairly safe in the rain I would jump on it. The Nitto Invo's may be the best I can do! Thanks to all!

I am looking for the stickiest true road radial for a 17x9" wheel and I want a 27-28" tall tire and that cuts the field by a bunch, 26" just does not look right. About the closest I can find is the Nitto 555g that is rated at 200 treadwear in the 275-50-17. This is my wifes toy but with a touch over 700 hp, it is flat dangerous on the gas and at hiway speed if it downshifts to second, it gets real loose real quick. If anyone has a recommendation, I am all ears.


We used the Nitto's on our endurance car...ehh they tended to get greasy when hot. We have also used Falken AZENIS, they are pretty good, but the best was Dunlop Direzza's. They are all 200 T/W but the later was the "stickyest". That all said we are racing 6-8 hours at a time taking 12-22 turns a lap.
