I wrote a review of my experience so far here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...tq-review.html

Hopefully some of you guys might find it helpful if you plan on running a 315/35/17 tire, making around 4-450hp.

Well they came in yesterday, and they are HUGE. At the tire shop now getting mounted. I'll at least have a fitment review tonight and make sure they don't rub. I'm driving the car to work and then to the shop tomorrow because it has to get ready for the track so I'll do some light street testing.

I'll be running at the track Saturday and I'll probably max out the M/T's as they are almost dead, after that, I'll put these on and see how they do .

EDIT: Just by the thumb and thumbnail test these tires are pretty soft, not quiet as soft as the M/T's, but I would say at least 85-90% comparable. I think this difference won't even be measurable on the street, but I'll get you guys 60' time differences and go from there.

Updated pics:











They bulge and therefore stick out just a tad, but not enough to warrant me to mini-tub it.

I did get on it a lil this morning, but it has been damp here so I just annihilated the tires for m a 20 roll, but that's expected. When it dries up I'll get a better review.

Not at all, lol. I can't even remotely hook below a 50 roll, it still spins, but not for long above that.

Looks good man. I am definately excited to see the strip review. They hook up very well for me, but your car is a whole different animal. Hope you are happy with your decision to go with these.

On looks alone, and MPH capability, they are definitely worth it, if they hook well at the track, thats a plus!
