Just like the title, my tires finally came in, these suckers are really really big, cant wait to get them on the car and actually feel some torque.

anyone else got em?

how do you like them?

any new best 60's on these tires?

the drag radial 2's look really similar to the nitto's but far more tread depth i think. we shall see how they last,

anyone got any tips on heat cycling new tires?

what would be the purpose of going with a 35 series instead of the 30 series on the 18inch rim? isnt 30/18 equal to 35/17(stock)?

Nice. I was considering the MT ET street radial 2's for my 17x11's. But, I was unsure of how well they'd handle DD'ing and how long they'd last. So, I just ended up going with some 315 Nitto DR's.

i went 35 because according to mickey thats a closer aspect ratio to my 295=35's that are on the car right now, and they fit nicely.

yeah, nitto's are great, but im looking for a track tire more than a street tire, although nitto's are a lot cheapers, well see how these do

Too, and dont quote me on this, you want to have a little side wall left over so it 1) doesnt have the rubber band look 2) has a nicer ride quality and 3) helps in cornering
