lol ya but I need some front runners to go on my Greg Welds sitting in my garage. I have VW tires on there now but don't like the way they look when I air them up and put the car on the ground!

I have too many wheels and tires!!!

I have a set of 28x10.5R15 ET Drags, 275/50R15 ET Street Radials, and just got a set of 325/50R15 ET Street Radials!!!!

Not to mention the set of chrome stockies in my shed along with a pair of 315/35R17 Nitto DR's!

LOL no. Those are the ones I am going to run. I had a set of 275/50R15's on my old Prostars but kept them. Well since I was going with 4.10's and nitrous I need a 28" tall tire so I got the 28x10.5R15 ET Drags, but then decided I don't want to run a full slick on the street so instead got the 325/50R15's off ebay. Paid 350 for both of them shipped to my door.

Thats pretty cheap. I have the DRs now and they are about dead, but they are getting hard to find, and I dont really want to go to a slick, for the same reason, of street driving the car alot.

Yeah, the car sees a lot of street time compared to strip time. The full slicks would have been nice on the strip but just seem overkill for the 2-3 times a year the car sees the tree.
