NO TRACTION
I'm runnin z rated 205's and I love em. But they weren't cheap, and they handle the traction (not that I have a GREAT traction problem with the aod). They're just soft, will probably wear faster, but great fun on the twisties. See, gorbs, now we're getting somewhere.

O.K., gorbs, time to think about the gears again. Hook up with those puppy's and your girlfriend will be crawling all over you (not to mention the girlfriends of the guys you just smoked).<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

i would advise you to go with some 255/50/16 BFGsDR since there the same overall diameter as the stock tires. 26inchs. or use what i ran last nite a set of MT ETstreets 26x10.50. i ran 18psi and was able to leave the
line off the converter and it stalls to around 3k.i have 410s and Mac upper and lowers. i jsut have the wrong set of springs. too stif for drag racing since theyre road racing springs. but they handle sweet with street tires<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">
