Zri rocks...can't beat it for the price.

Hey Pete, what kind of tires would you suggest?
Now I've heard that the ZRI's are sticky, good in dry, wet, blizzards and they go for a great price, but I wonder how they hold up while doing smokey burnouts with the E-brake on?

Looks like I'm going with motegi wheels, probably FF5s for $115 each with nitto neo gens 225/45 for $91 each. Total should be around $880 after tax and I'll mount and balance them. 
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

Rev X = Best bang for the buck 17" wheel out there. Lighweight at 16.3 lbs too!  You are a lucky man if you can find them with a week of delivery or better Kermit. They are always backordered in Miami  . I would get black centers on mine if they were ever ever EVER available  .

Nitto NT 555s at $119 each with free shipping, I think these are the best tires at a good price I can get. I know there are other tires that cost less that are good, but are there any around the same price/cheaper that are better? Thanks.

So is it looking like Motegi or REV?

The Nitto 555's are meh. I wouldn't buy them if you want to really push the car. The Fuzion ZRi's will OWN them for a cheaper price, and if you want to glue yourself to the road and don't mind silly-fast tire wear, then go for the Dulop Super Sport Race tires.
2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi
#1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
Knuckles rebuilt w/new bearings $55
AUSSIE ENDLINKS $70
Gutted pre-cats $80/set
A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!
