Cool. I'll have to check them out. Are they street legal drags or like a high performance warm weather tire? Do you have them on the rear wheels or all 4?

Right now they are only on the rear, but they will be going on the front as well whenever funds start allowing again. And they are an ultra high performance summer tire with a treadwear rating of 200. They handle great and they hook up pretty well too.

Nice. They sound like they work good. Where did you get them from?

teej281

Got them from my local tire shop called L&M Tire and Wheel. Its in Abbottstown. You probably passed it when driving to keith's from your place. Got me an installed price of $235/tire for a 295 35 18 NT05...thats pretty awesome price if you ask me. What size wheels you running right now??? We still gotta meet up sometime soon.

I'm running the stock tire size. Now sure offhand what the numbers are. All I know is it's a 17". Yeah I wanted to come to that cruise you set up but that was the nigt of the final four and I had a ticket for a party.

Its all good man. There will be others soon. We're trying to get a big one together before my buddy Ian, who helped me try to set this past one up, leaves for the middle east in June. But I'd consider wider wheels before you buy tires as wider tires will help with traction too.

Ok. Stay with the same size but run something like a 285 or wider?

teej281

No, you want to upgrade to a wheel that is like a 17x10.5 or 18x10 and then buy the tire to fit properly on that wheel. You cant even hardly fit a 275 width tire on an 8" wheel. So no higher than a 255 usually for an 8" wheel.

Gotcha. I may just get two new rims and tires then instead of getting just tires. Although I would like to get different rims, 18" all around but I need tires now so that will have to wait for awhile.
