Ok so my Maggie absolutely hates my tires. lol. But I'd really like to keep the 18s for the stealth sleeper thing so what are my options? Ive been looking around but I was curious what everyone elses experiences were. I have MTs on my WS6 and they hook great but I was looking for something a little more street friendly in case I encounter a wet road even though its a fair weather only car.


Thanks

The tire that is going to fit the stock 18's the best is a 265/40/18 Mickey Thompson
They are going to be this design

I ran the MT for a while and they work great when new. I am running NT05r in 285 right now

This is what I was thinking of getting as well. These or the NTO5Rs. I think These 2 are the best options

Nt05r's all the way, I ran the 285's and was very happy until they helped break my rear. They do hook, don't let anyone tell they don't. I had the 265's that shane was talking about and they hook also. I found the mickey's hook better on the street, they both hook equally at the track. You'll probably get a little longer life out of the Nt05r's, little harder compound. I just sold mine a few weeks back on 9.5 c6 vet wheels.
