i'm running them right now, i think there great tires. good traction in both dry and wet roads, but they don't last too long in my opinion. but off course what kinda tire with a 220 tread wear rating really doesn't.

I have them. Good tires for the price. A little heavy, and a little noisey. But with how cheap they are can't really complain.



I took it to the drag strip, and cut pretty decent times for a amature, 2.07 . . . did lots of burn outs and I swear it didn't even put a dent in the tires . . . I don't consider them too soft.

Anyone running this size up front as well? Was trying to get the right tire size for 18x10 TT2's front/rear.

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the feedback and the pics. I think that for the price they would be a good choice. I was qouted $243.00 each is that an average price? I really like the tread design on these tires it is a very aggressive design. I think thats what I will end up getting.

I think that the 295 width would work great on a 18x10 rim. I was running 305 width Nitto drag radials on 18x10.5 rim and it looked awesome!! I got a lot of compliments on that setup. I am switching to the 295's to get a longer lasting tire plus it will be cheaper in the long run. The 295's will look right on a 10 inch rim anything less than 295 might look a little funny thats just my opinion. Hope this info helps you out.

Yeah the tread pattern is pretty cool, although the side wall is a little "flashy"

Man, that was quick! I was just trying to check out your photo album to get a better look at your tires on your car! Man they really look good! Sweet ride! They are a little flashy on the side wall. Is it a pain when you detail them becuase of all the lines and writing on the side wall?

Nah . . . a little tire shine and all is good. The little groves do hold the tire shine when really wet and will fling it down the side of the car, but all tires do that.

Sounds funny but I use and old paint brush to apply tire shine. The ridges shread the foam pads.

I've got a set on my SS on 18x10s. Really happy with them, very good handling characteristics and they hook up decent. They look good as well.
