do sticky street tires exist?

[40th GT]

So my stock BFGs of 400 treadwear can't seem to cut any decent 60' times. I'm not the best driver in the world but I don't think the tires are helping either.

I've been looking at Continental's ContiSportContacts and the Falken Ziex.
Are any of these good?

And I don't want to get drag radials just to run 13s.

Those tires arent sticky at all. Usually the less tread wear rating the stickier. Anything above 300 is going to be a hard tire. What size tires are you looking at?

[WhiteAccord]

This is true. If you want to run good/better times expect to pay more money.

You gotta pay to play. If your interested I have a set of mustang wheels that would be great to throw some MT on. LMK if your interested.

Try something like a Neova they are down around a 140 tread wear

Nah I don't think so either.
If I can afford to buy 9" wide wheels I'll go with 275/45/18 (stock tire diameter), and if not I'll stick with stock size - 235/50/18.
I realize smaller wheels are better for traction but I wanna race with the same tires that I used to drive to the track with. It's not like my car makes 500wtq lol.

I'm aware. 275s are gonna cost me $210+ a piece. :(
And I sent you a PM.

It looks like they don't make any in my size.

How about the Bridgestone Potenza RE-050?

look into Falken Azenis 615 or Hankook Ventus Rs2/rs3's

Those are affordable sticky street tires

I've seen some at tirerack and discount tire.

But anyway, if you're hookin with those that means I will too. :boobies:

[antiv6]

I dont hook perfect with them but for what they are they're impressive but youd probably hook up great. There definitely the best street tire ive had.

think they'll last 15k?

reps to everyone who helped.

[antiv6]

Possibly, although ive never had a tire last over 10k miles on a mustang except for bfg gforce sports that have a 360 treadwear i believe they have been on the front of my car for 15k now and have tons of tread left.

Fawk this hobby is too expensive.

[antiv6]

your probably better off money wise just getting a used set of wheels with tires on them. Usually people with mustangs sell wheels left and right so you can find some good deals.
