I don't know what brand of tires to buy for the 10.5 inch rims? I want a Street tire that has a tread wear over 300. I have heard Goodyear Eagle F1 is a good tire. I have Sumatoma's HTR and They suck!

555 555R or 555IIR.
Performance tires. Forget about the snow or racing in the rain (duh).

I would agree the nitto will have better grip, but the goodyear will be a much better street tire.
LizardKing 2002 said:As a side note, anyone that drives their cars relatively hard, the Nitto 555IIR are actually not bad for thread wear in comparison to the Goodyear.
A friend with a not so stock Z06 was testing them, and developped the theory that because there is LESS wheel spin all over the band the wheels don't chew up the rubber as the stock Goodyear.
I will test his theory this coming summer. 555IIR all around.

I printed out a price sheet from Tire Rack and went to my local Goodyear Dealer and told them to match it. They did. I've put about 30k HARD miles on them and it's getting about time to change them. They've been awesome in the rain, and as the depth of the grooves decrease, naturally their wet weather performance has degraded somewhat.joshheat25 said:For everyone who has bought Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-G3 tires.
