They are good, and from what I know reasonably durable, but haven't got the traction level im after. Don't care if I have to replace them every 6 months, I just want opinions on what tyres will give me the absolute best traction. Cheers guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83063-best-wheels-for-big-power-traction/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if your happy running semi slicks, then throw on some ET streets on 17s, or even 15s if you wanna be bad ass. But your in trouble if it rains.

Am about to try 275 NT05's on the street so will let you know how they go.Currently have KU36's . And yeh they're ok, but not that great.

And I know they all handle far better than falcons, but I asked about help with tyres guys haha. Unfortunately not a big tyre nut so that's why advice is needed. Drove a 480rwhp BFII turbo with top of the line maxxis tyres and they held on well. Are they are good?
