Im new to the GT500 world and was wondering what rear tires everyone would suggest? Want them to hook up well for street driving for the occasional pull. I would rather put some tires on the factory wheels if possible rather than get a whole new set for the rear.

I run Toyo R888R tires in the rear on mine with the stock wheels in the stock size and they are great, a little noisy but they hook.

Really depends on how much power the car makes and if there is any suspension mods done. If its a stock car and you are going to daily it and drive it in the rain a ps4 Michelin. If its modded and it is a weekend fair weather car that does freeway pulls then a r888r. If it is modded and you like dig racing then MT et street r's are more up your alley.

Most versatile tire is the r888r

If you can still get them I run Nexen Sur4G Drag Spec radials. I run them on my hellcat as well. They’re 275/35/20. They’re great, and provide great traction.
