That's good to hear. My brother's getting some same size for his new TT2s and I'm going with a pair of 16" ET Streets for my other set of wheels, strictly for the track. These Nittos don't like the cold weather, but they'll stay on for the street because they last forever compared to the MTs.

The tire height makes a huge difference depending on your tranny and traction. There is online calculators to help figure rpm/tire height/ and mph. PM a friend of mine BigDave on here for a link or maybe google it.
