Best tire for a 16x8 salad shooter

[jderry]

I plan on keeping my rims, I like them so getting something bigger is not an option.
What is the widest tire I can get? What specific tires would you reconmend?

[MunsterZ28]

255 and what kind of driving do you do? thatll determine the tire.

I want a decent Z rated tire, I drive mostly city, sometimes quickly on some of the back roads out here.
I want a tire with a decent tread life.

245/50/16 and 255/50/16 are about as wide as you can go while staying right around 26" tall.

255 is an odd size tho. Not a lot of people make them.

Will you have another set of tires for winter use?

With what you are asking I would lean towards the BFGoorich G-force sports, The are an ultra high performance summer tire and the tread wear is 340 so they should last for a while.

Exactly. Makes them a very attractive tire, for the price.

I was considering those before I decided to step up to KDW2s.

I was thinking about those, my dad suggested them, he's got them on the impala

How are riken raptors?

[nascarnate326]

my95z28 had them on his black car.

I would buy them.

would the G-force sports be a good choice for a road-race autocross tire? I dont want the best grip in the world, i want a tire that holds up to abuse.

After I had my exhaust done I couldn't spin my G-force sports from a slow roll...and now I can't get traction from a slow roll. I have sumitomos on the front right now and they suck. However, the G-force sports seem to be pretty grippy cornering.

I'd suggest the KDWs...that's what SRT4 ACRs came with from the factory.

That's what I am looking at for my summer tires when I get 18s.
