Tire Recommendation for Hogh Horsepower Car (Daily Driver setup)
So title states, I’m trying to figure out what tire to get for daily driving.
I’m currently running 285/35, 305/35 BFG Comp2 (horrible tire to hold any type of grip lol) it’s perfect DD tire. I don’t want to run a MT ET Street or a drag radial on the street Was thinking about - Toyo RRR - Nitto 555R - Pilot Cup 2 |

Nitto 555R2 gets great reviews as a very streetable drag radial. I run the Toyo R888R in the rare occasions that I drive my car on the street and they are very good and extremely stable, but definitely louder than any typical street tire.

So my car is no where near a daily driver .. but by daily driver meaning I take her out in the summer to 300+ mile road trip lol. A lot of highway driving. Which is why I don’t think r888 would be a good option or any type of drag radial.
It’s mostly rain I worry about. I don’t pull my car out during the winter. In a year I probably will add 3000 - 5000 miles max. |

I would recommend one of the less race-focused summer tires for your use-case.
I have the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, they're excellent tires and make it through summer rainstorms very well. Also heard good things of the below: 1. Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 2. General G-MAX RS 3. Continental ExtremeContactSport (1 and 2) 4. Michelin Pilot Sport (PSS and PS 4)

How much power are you making? I love my R888R's... I think they would work great up to 1,000rwhp depending on driving style. If you really want to grip from a dig or slow roll... then i think some MT's would be a better product over 800rwhp.

I’m about 890hp.
I would love R888 but those would only last 7-8k miles max. My Cousin has them On hellcat and they are great but suck in rain and needs to be replaced under 10k miles |

If you aren't okay with a drag radial such as the Nitto 555RII that Josh already mentioned, you'll simply have to compromise somewhere, either performance or usability.

I had same BFG tires and hated them because they don't hook worth a flip
Nitto 555rII is good in the rain I'm on my second pair now and I drive quite a bit. They don't hook like Mickey Thompsons but you'll feel more secure when it rains
