Im running stock size in the front. 245/45 and 285/40 out back on a 10.5 wheel. It looks alot better than I thought it would. 315`s would of taken about 6 weeks to get so I settled for the 285`s. The tires are Goodyear eagle FI GS-D3`s They perform very well in wet conditions and grip very well in dry. Bought them from discounttire.

Ok, I did what your title says:

What is everyone runnning? Sizes, brands Dunno

What tread life are you seeing? They havn't gone bald in the 2 mo. I've had them so ok I guess

How are they in the rain? I don't drive in the rain

How are they on the street?(grip, cornering) Very good

Where did you get them? Internet

I might want to spend a few bucks more for alonger lasting tire, or an grippy safer tire for the wider rear esp in inclement weather.
Who knows we might make this a tire sticky? That would be smart of you and I doubt it

I run 245/45/17 hankook Ventus II's all around. They have pretty decent dry traction. I break loose all the time with then cause of the 3.73's... They are decent for cornering i guess and the wet traction is pretty damn good. I have a set of BFG G-force DR II's 275/40/17's for the track. They are sticky as hell and handle exceptionally dry. never driven them in the rain, and I don't plan on it seeing as how they are on a set of track only wheels.
