Default Excited, about tires?

I've never been excited about getting tires in, but I am now. I just put my order in for the new MT's, 315/35/17's. I really wanted 335's, but I can't justify the cost. I know they are back ordered but they should be shipping soon w/any luck.

I don't know if they'll have a prayer at hooking, but they have to be better than the Goodyear GSC's on the car right now.

Here is a pic for those out of the loop!

^ Lol, thanks man. At least performance wise they have been better than their predecessors. The blue TA did 400/380 and ran 12.1's, the white TA did 441/430 and ran 11.60's nailing the limiter , and this one should make mid 700's and 10 something in full street trim. Although appearance wise it went white TA, blue TA, and this one as far as worse to best.

You shouldnt have a problem hooking with them if your suspension is set up right.

Mightey Mouse Ran a 9.05 @ 156MPH with those tires wieghing in at almost 3900 lbs.

Should look awsome bro.

Ill be getting a set for my 17" wheels on my new TA.

^ that is wicked! Do you happen to know the what PSI he was running them on? The next 2 things on the list are QA1's and an anti roll bar so I can get the car scaled, everything else I have. The car will be 100% complete with those.

I don't blame you at all for being excited about those man, they look great and are supposed to hook even better! I just wish they'd re-release the 275/40s in that new tread pattern, looks better to me and a little more rain friendly.
