Thumbs up i need help in choosing tires

ok well im looking for a set of 265-35 with a stiff side wall and price range from 130-180 but there r so many to chose from i cant make up my mind. i want something for sprint/DD and that r going to last a while. btw im going to be installin them on my GSR X wheels, and i know some of u guys dont think 265s is a good choice for a 8.5 wheel but i seen it done before without a problem.

thanks in advance..

I'd try Star Spec's if you want something that is decent on both road and track.

Based on your list only those two I would look at.

Also check out Goodyear Eagle GT and Eagle F1 Assymetric.

I'd keep an eye on the Dunlop Z1's or B-Stone RE-11's.

I was hoping for something more along the lines of closeout pricing...

I have a fresh set of *Specs on my car anyways. I was just curious after your comment.

Thanks

Dunlops, and 265 is ok on an 8.5" wheel, but no larger.
