Tire And Wheel Packages For Good Grip

[nathanway]

hello everyone

im looking at getting some new rims for the fg xr6t,and I want grip!!!! , what size tires offer the best grip for $$ ie a 19 255 cheaper than a 20 255 but same grip? I dont no much about tires just that some are way better than others and the better they are they faster they die . after changing from a regular tire to a 17inch proxiy with my Expensive Daewoo ute im keen as to get the xr6 on super sticky rubber asap

thanks any advice would be great

What power does the rubber need to handle?

[sexual harrassment panda]

a 19" tyre with the same width and diameter will have more grip than a 20"

20" are for show only

Need more details.

Look at these, in approx. order of grip level.

Good value street semi's are Kumho KU36, Federal 595RSR, Falken RT615, Toyo R1R, Dunlop Direzza Star Spec.

Bridgestone RE11 and Yokohama AD08's will do most everything well.

If you are more serious about grip and are not concerned with price, wear rates, noise, cold bite or aquaplane resistance etc

Look at R-rated semis. Still street legal.

Toyo R888, Dunlop DZ03G, Yoko A050 etc.

MT radial will give you the best legal straight line power down for rears at the expense of everything else.

Hi Bloke,

Can vouch for the awesome grip from Bridgestone RE11's ... once they are warm farrkkkkkkk!

These things are good in the wet too ... amazing!

I have a BF F6 Typhoon with 380rwkw

thanks heeps guys the car is standard atm (still recovering from buying the thing) but I will be doing some minor things soon going for at least 270 at the wheels, so 20's are no good I think ima go with the 19's

thanks keeps guys any one else have anythink to say about the differant tires they have mentioned

I picked up some Nitto NT-05 recently and they have been excellent. I had a short run with a mate (on a private closed road of course) in his very modified VY SS ute and my stock FG F6 will pull a full length on him through first gear. With grip the F6's are very fast cars. I wonder whether Ford deliberately neuter their high performance sedan's performance by putting sh*t tyres on them?
