Re: tire ?????
ordered the tires today. discount tire price matched another company that was having a sale and still honored free shipping. ended up with Nitto 555 Extreme 235/45/17 up front and 265/35/18 in the rear. total price ended up being $572 shipped.
i did drop a little in tire size just to be sure there were no fitment issues. but i still have alot more tire than stock.

Oh yeah I know but I was just saying that I don't think a DR would hook that much better than a regular street tire that it would be worth it. Like I said I just had regular street tires on mine and it hooked ok on the street as long as you didn't get too crazy with the throttle. I just know after 2 sets of drag radials I got tired of changing out tires and just wanted something that would last a while. |

235 'may' be a little narrow on that 8" wide wheel.

Re: tire ?????
got the car out for the first time since the tires. Nittos with the quad shocks off the hook up is twice as good as it has ever been. the FFR's should make a real nice feel.
