yeah i have some 17/40/275's now and theyre pretty worn and i cant get much traction from 1st and 2nd...just wondering if its the size or the worn tires...btw i have falken azenis right now, whats your opinion on that?


and do you have the same size tire all the around? because a guy i know said that 275's all around will make you oversteer....do you know how true that is?

if you get some decent street tires, or some drs a 275 tire is plenty to stick with.

yes that is untrue. camaros came stock with 275 all the way around with the ss wheels.

With stock SS 10 spokes and stock Good Year 275/40's all around, my car handles like a pig. With my TT2's, 17x9.5's w/275/40's, and w/315's on the rear, whether they are the Nitto Drag Radials on 9.5's, or the Sumitomos on 17x11's, the car "feels" MUCH better at any speed than it does with the stock wheels and tires.

Nitto 315/35/17 Drag Radials on 17x9.5's, which fit perfectly:



Sumitomo 315/35/17 on 17x11's, which also fit nicely:
