if you do n20 then yes def need tires. if not then you dont really, not with those gears. youll mayyyybe get that 60ft down to a 1.9 at best

if anything i would step those gears up to 3:23s atleast then get some tire, if youd like i got some low mileage 3:42s ill sell to you.

the best mods(and the ones most do first) are as follows in order
for you:
gears
tires
re-loc. brackets and new trailing arms with poly bushings
shift-kit
ported TB
Ls6 intake
stall
a tune

and later on i would sell the mid-lengths and get longtubes..

just my thoughts everyone chooses diffrent mods at different times..

Not bad, but the gears and 60 foot times are holding you back. A tune would be in order for the exhaust and air intake mods you've made, but with good traction low 13s with a hair more mph should be the result. I ran 13.47 at 103 mph with a '00 Formula A4 w/ 3.23 gears bone stock.
