Default 335 Hoosiers on chrome 17x11's on again.

Well, had these on my old car, and looked really good. Still had them laying around and wanted 11in ZR1's again so I figured why not. Removed entire bumpstop, Very little BFH work, adjusted panhard bar and done. Just cell phone pics for now.

Old 275 nitto's on 17x9s







Im leaven the centercap out forsure.

12.2 @ only 111mph means he's coming out of the hole pretty hard, so I'd say yes.

Sure he could faster on 275s.. and I dont think he went 12.2 on those tires.. I bet he slows down.

haha yea, 12.2 on the 275 nitto. Def. will slow me down, but no more track days here in Wisconsin. So out comes the motor, and in goes the MS4, LS6 intake and throttle body that I have laying here. Not to mention, those little nitto's didnt like the 4200 stall this past weekend at the track HAHA. So yea, that much tire. Plus it looks Great, but will def. slow me down as of now, but o well.

When they were on my six speed heads and cam car, it hooked damn good on the street even. Never got it to the track with the hoosier. But this car I have now hooks retarded on the street.

Follow the link, The evo I ran spun more then me, Actually i didn't spin at all. It was COLD that night. Only reason he wanted to run. Granted my tune is off some and wouldnt hit drive that well so it was closer then it ever should have been.

nope... i just saw that pic one day when i was searching for 335's.

unless you like detailing your car daily, DON'T GO BLACK. this one looks sexy, but i guarantee it was dirty like 5 minutes after the picture was taken. lol.

my car was black and i actually painted it electron blue because i couldn't deal with the black anymore. i wish i had some behind pics of my 315 hoosiers. i probably have one with my 315 bfgs though

My last car was NBM which was hard enough to keep clean. Not black but still a headache. But I love black and my car hardly gets driven so Im still gonna go with that im sure. I do want to do a color that isnt factory but black is something I want to do.

Are those the Hoosier A6s? Is that more of an autocross tire? They look good though! **EDIT** I found them with a little searching.... Model #17335

Cause I had 275 on b4 and it wasn't perfectly adjusted center to center. But when u put such a wide tire on, u have about a 1/4 in of clearance on each side on the inside of the tire. So it's easy to center it a lil better. Thats why I adjusted my Sphon panhard bar.

Um not sure. Ive ahd these awhile. I know there the cheaper, softer sidewall Hoosier. I dont auto X so I opted for the better "drag" tire.
