http://www.mazdaspeedforum.org/forum/foru...html#post57419 Stop. Im running stock rims and I went with the triple nickles (nt-555s) I like em, but there are better more expensive tires out there. I should mention that i went with them because I live in AZ. These things are down right dangerous in the rain. On dry pavement however they gave me a serious increase in traction while accelerating and the handling is much improved. I went with 225/40/18s.

| Not Ranked : 0 score A buddy of mine who used to always use BFG KDWNTs just switched to Falken 452s and hates them, they just dont hook well. I have the BFGs and like them a lot, but I dont have much to compare them to, since I had all season tires up front when I bought mine. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score When my stock tires wear out, I will replace them with goodyear f1 gs d3's I have a set on my 420+ hp vette and they hook and corner great. I also really like the tread pattern.

| Not Ranked : 0 score dont do 235/40 on a stock rim, 225/40 is a better choice. I got falken fk 452 and they are good for the price. also yokohama s-drive is good for the price too. if you got alot of money get good tires but if you want them to last you gotta give up some performance |
