If they are out there I can't find them anywhere. Your only option is Nitto DR in a 315/35/17. Kumho has the VictorRacer in that size.

R2 are for autocrossing and stuff like that right? Is that what you are looking to do?

Well I know the f body kicks *** quarter mile wise but the way mine is set up with it lowered and ILE swaybar etc it handles descent and Id like to keep it like that.

Yeah so I guess Im a handling kinda guy, so my only choice is the 555Rs? I thought they brang out the R2s in the 315s.

I know two people than run 315 Nitto drag radials on all four corners, one is an autocrosser and the other is a road racer. Both are fast and really like the drag radials. If I had 17x11's I would be running the DR's instead of my 275 RII's (which is a nice tire as well).

Hey 98 ILE when you say Nitto drag radials, are you referring to the 555Rs?
