[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10705116, member: 11681"] You need to take a look at the wear number on all of your choices. You will notice that all the [B]R-compound [/B]stuff is around 100, these are going to hook the best but withing a short period of time will not have much tread left. They will start out being good in the rain but they are only going to last about 7 or 8 thousand miles depending on the driver. Next up are the [B]legitimate street radials[/B], with a full strength street radial carcass and deeper starting tread depth. These are known as [B]Extreme Performance Summer ONLY[/B] radials, this is what I run on the street. The range of wear numbers is wider than I'm going to list here but if you stay within this grouping of wear numbers you will have relatively good grip and semi reasonable wear which means they will stay good in the rain longer. [B]Within this group try to stick with a 170-220 rating and you should like what you get.[/B] They will be less grip the a drag radial which is basically the same grip as an R compound. Above that range of wear number are tires for people who have to drive this car to work every day and need tires that last longer, you will not enjoy the grip or the car running stones on it, but you also may not want to run Rs unless you don't mind buying tires every year. Some tires I like for street use on Terminators under 500rwhp: Falken 615-K [url=http://discounttires.com/product_detail.php?c=OTlkODJjMmZlZjdkZjMyMWRlMWIwZjJlNTNlMTZjMWE=&prodID=9933&t=GS]275/40R17 Falken Azenis RT 615K - Discounttires.com has the lowest prices on tires and wheels, all name brands, and a huge inventory.
