The intercooler showed up today and looks good for the most part but there was a little cosmetic damage. I don't have time to send it back I'm just going to except it.









I also ordered some new MT 315/35/17's DR's and some Sumitomo 255/45/17's for the front.

I have had the MT's before in this size with the newer thread pattern and absolutely loved them. I had to settle for BFG's DR's in same size last time because the MT's were on back order. They had half the traction, wore out quicker, and preformed worse in the rain.

The newer thread pattern is a step up from the old design as far every day driving and preforms just as well at the track as the older pattern.

I love these tires but they are not cheap for a tire I have to replace almost every year.

MT 315/35/17 DR's


These tires are good in the 275 and down just don't get the 315's the gaps are huge. The reason I like them is that they're only 67 a peice lol.

Sumitomo 255/45/17's

What kind of cooling method were you using before?

Same thing, the new one is just one inch wider. I'm selling the old one for 95 shipped. Pic of old one below.

nice tires

They are my favorite by far. I have tried Nittos. BFG's and these MT's. MT's In the newer thread pattern are far superior in every category.

Sumi's are great tires for a DD. Obviously they blow for traction. When I was driving through rain storms in Oklahoma and I couldn't have asked for a better tire.

I love my ebay fmic.

I like the idea of a drag radial but I just can't imagine blow that kind of money on an 18" tire.

I have 2, 245/24/17's in the front now that last 3 years. Liked I said if you stay below a 275 they're fine. I had a set of 315 sumi's when I first bought the new wheels and sold them a week later lol.The 245 put actual thread to the ground because the 315's had the biggest gaps ever.

The mt's in the new thread pattern do well in the rain. I even got caught in the snow with them once.

The gaps are huuuuuuuuugeeeeee lmao

That's why I went 17 lighter and better for over all performance. But 18's look ****.

Sxynerd

that is huge, lol.
