I have a set of 315/35/17 on my streetlites I havnt put to the test yet. Tryin to get this thing done so brett can do his thing and get it tuned. Not 800rwhp but 500-550 hopefully

They are softer than the nittos but imo nothing like the mickeys. I'll be really surprised if they can compare. But like I said, I havn't actually put them to the test yet.

good luck getting those 345's to not rub, my 315's are damn close with the BFH mod and rolled fenders.

Yeah, I'm hoping it isn't too bad. I think he is going to have to roll the fenders and maybe really start cutting things out of inner fender well.

I just received my set today. 315/35/17, and I am only making 404hp. Its raining like crazy right now, but hopefully I can get them on tomorrow or the next day. I will write a review that should be helpful to the cam only guys.

in the other toyo thread i posted this,

I just used up my set of 315/35r17's, I love/loved them they are completely done now, I had the BFG's before and they sucked in comparison as far as hooking up, I drove my buddys car with a bigger stall and M/T's and his spun worse than mine, that would be expected though if the tires hook the same, I cut 1.85 60ft's with no problem, I would cut better 60 ft's if I had a bigger stall or more power, the problem was not the tires they hooked great, just didnt have the power/stall. I love driving them daily. As with any race tire they suck in the rain etc. But for the money they were great.

Oh and I got 7k miles out of them, I treat tires like **** so thats no surprise

I'm not too worried about it, I've had 335's on the Fikse's without any modding/rubbing, the offset is pretty much perfect. However, with the 28's on my Bogarts I had to BFH and cut some out in the fender well so I'm not expecting any problems. I'll post up for sure either way though.

They are 3.75mm wider (tread patch wise, 315mm x .65 = 204.75, 345 x .6 = 207) than my M/T's on the Fikse's but they will be taller so we'll have to see.

I honestly doubt they will see rain, my car has been rained on twice in 2 years, but I'll get every other aspect!

I got a buddy of mine that bought a set for his 402 ci powered Fbody. I rode with him and they definitely brought the car outta the hole like a missle. However, he only got about 8,000 mi outta them before they were bald! If you're not worried about mileage then I'd say go for it. I thought they were worth the money as far as a good hooking tire goes. Hope this helped.

[QUOTE='Trust';12206724] They make a 345/40/17. QUOTE]
What rim do you plan on using with these? I wouldn't mind a 28" drag radial either, but they recommend a 11.5"-13.5" rim for this tire. Sounds like its too much tire for my 17x11 ZR1's
