street strip tires for 18 rims

[mudygmc]

Hey just curious as to what you guys run for street strip tires on 18in. rims. I got a set of rims for $100 and would like to put some decent tires on them. I am looking for something reasonably priced as I went over budget on the motor. I was thinking maybe the Kumho ECSTA STX KL12 in 285-60-18. I found them for $125. Just curious as to what you guys think.

Those tires would work as long as you aint dragging trailers around a lot. If you do, you might find they wear faster and you'll feel a little more sidewall rolling than you would on a E-rated tire.

This would be my fourth set of tires and wheels. They would be mainly a strip tire but still see some road use. I can't afford do buy a set of drag radials or slicks. I want something dual purpose.

In that case they should work fine. Many people have good wear/traction running the toyo proxes. Seems to be a fairly universal tire. Haven't found them for 125 each though.

What type of tire were you running?

I falken ziexs and so far I'm pretty happy with. Got the full set delivered to my door for 500 even. That's for 16's though.


If you can find them ide go with the tried and true toyo proxies st-1

Will 305/60R18 fit a non-lifted truck w/o rubbing? What backspace and offset on the wheels?

Thanks

Yes they will. THe best offset wheel to get is a 0 or a positive offset.

The tires I was running were the Toyo Proxes
