When I ordered the Roush wheels I thought I was gonna get BFG's, but I got Coopers. Roush sells both. Lucky me I guess.

Do they make them in 17 inch that is 27 inches tall? I'd love to cut a 1.68 60 on street tires.

You will get a bunch of different responses to that question. I will tell you this much. With my BFG KDW2's, I am getting 1.68 / 1.69 60foot times with my suspension mods. The wear rate is great and they are good in all weather conditions.

You might as well move up to a 255/50/17 on all 4 corners. They will go on the stock 17's with no problems. I'm going to try a set of these.

Where do you guys buy your tires ?
www.tirerack.com

They have the lowest prices and will ship them directly to an installer near you. They even list the prices for install at the shop of your choice.

I wouldn't bank on that final number. You must look at a few reviews. Those numbers come from customer reviews and not everyone knows what traction is and even fewer have the horse power we do. I would expect any ultra high performance summer tire to out perform any all season tire.

I skim the reviews looking for people with high performance vehicles.
