Post MT et prices/places

Where is the cheapest place online to order some MT slicks online. or is there a cheap place to pick them up in SoCal. just some 235/60/15 for my little v6 rims.

and could some one explain the sizing to me. im looking up slicks and it say tire size 26X11.50-17LT what is that suppose to mean. how big would that be. im also looking for some street slicks for my 245/45/17 rims too

Most places are very similar in prices..

As for your 17s, pick up a set of ET Streets 275/40/17. They will fit on the stock bullets, and work very well.

And I believe 26 is the height, 11.5 is the width, and the last is obviously the rim size

thanks guys helps a lot. but if i have a rim size of 245/45 , wouldn't 275/40 be to big? length wise. 245~8'' and 275~9'' wouldn't it be an inch to long?

Listen, they will be a little wider on the rim, but they will fit, and work fine. I had 275s on my Cobra and I mounted the 275/40 MTs on dimebag's stock bullets and he's ben DD`n the car on them for a few months now.

Heres my old car on 275/40 BFG DRs, and 275 Falken streets on the front...notice the little bulge in sidewall, but they fit just fine

Best place/price after all said and done is either Summit or Jegs
