I think those are the Yokohama Road Race AO32 R.
Love the car though.

I think those are intended for autocross. That pic from the back makes it look really wide.

For a warm temp location that does not get much rain or deep standing puddles they are fine. But just remember that they are compounded much like the "gummier" drag radials (M/Ts, Hoosiers, M&H,etc.) and will therefore pick up more shrapnel (and flat more often), kick up more stones/pebbles onto your side/quarter panels, and wear 2-3x as fast as even the stickiest non "R" or DR. They also have a sidewall that is 10x stiffer than most DRs, so if "launch" is what you're after they are not for you. That is IF you can even still find a set in OUR sizes.

Ok, thanks guys for the input, I guess more than anything I fell in love with wide-*** tires with a cool tread design on a lowered convertible camaro.
