Not sure to be honest. I've got about 4k on them and they still have decent tread left. Haven't taken them to the track yet though as the nearest track is still very far

Yeah mine had that sticker too. I think they weigh around 15 lbs. each. I read it somewhere on SVT forum and the 17x4.5 and 15x10 weigh almost the same. I will get some weights tonight if I remember.

You can also weigh yourself, then pick up the wheel and weigh again .

You won't wanna run a radial and bias ply.
Can someone educate me as to what the difference is between bias ply or radials? and what is better for a street/strip car? I need to make up my mind and buy me 17" front runners for my Darkstars which are screaming to be thrown on the car! By the way, I will be spraying bout 200-225 shot on this car through a 408!

Has to do with the material and manufacturing process of the tire. Radials will run a quicker time at the track if you can make them hook up like the Bias ply.

Radials are more street friendly.

Installed some slotted rotors and new pads tonight. I'll snap some pictures tomorrow as I'll be doing the first "detail" of the season in the morning.
