need help choosing tires
Well I got a set of 17x9.5 torque thrust II's and I'm having a hard time deciding on tires. The size I need is 275/40/17. I'm highly considering Eagle F1's but they're way expensive. I can get Falkens or Kumhos for roughly half the price. Does anyone have any experience with these tires? I really need them to grip so I can actually get a decent launch at Sunshine but I don't mind saving a few bux either, since I'm also wanting headers....
Any help would be awesome.

I would love to get a set of mt or bfg but i need to get the mileage out of them. Nittos are getting cheaper and a damn good bang for your buck.

I've got Falekn Ziex ZE-512's and I absolutely love them...the older ZE-502's hooked up great in dry weather but sucked ass in the rain...these newer ZE-512's hook up absolutely awesome in dry, and I've extremely pleased with their wet performance as well....I'd reccomend them, esepcially as cheap as they are.
