Not if they are cheap tires.I went cheap on my rim/tire combo and got some Ventus made by Hancook.THEY SUCK.Its real easy to break them loose while cornerring.If you want traction get some Yokahamas or Nitto drag radials or something other than cheap tires.

It will help a little but if your car is lowered unless you have camber correction it really wont make a difference.I have 17x7s.I dont have camber correction andI can break them loose really easy and Im not even boosted yet(my rims only weigh 16 pounds..that why also).When Im boosted Ill prob. be able to scratch 4th...lol.If I would do it again I would spend the 200 bucks for some better tires.
