4.10's if not 4.30's if your n/a. and even with a centri s/c'er under 400rwhp i'd still go 4.10. anything over that i'd prob go 3.73 or 3.55

I have around 40 more rwhp though lol. Im not ripping on you for having more im just saying. I cant hook for **** with street tires. I used to have 10.5s nitto dr's and i still spun like crazy and that was before the gears. I love the slicks. It launches so hard now.

Cuz I enjoy cruising around town with 3.55s.... I have enough power to get up and go when I need it.. and other than when you're at a dead stop.. you can always down shift to put yourself back in the power band.

Gee thanks !!!! Just messin. But these tires are pretty awesome. They hook up better than my buddy's Nitto DR's do, and i think its due to the contact patch that they have on the road. They work awesome. Even Ox had a set on his car before he left in 315 35 17 and he said they hooked pretty darn well with his power, better than nitto d/r's anyways.

just had 4.10's and a catted x put on this weekend for 450$. Trust me when I say this. DO IT! I do a lot of highway and as long as you dont drive 90 mph consistantly you wont notice much of a mpg loss. I stay between 70-80 and dont go above 3k. Plus idk why mpg is even an issue. WE DRIVE 4.6 L v8's!!! if you care about gas mileage buy a honda!!! the x pipe made a huge difference in overall satisfaction of hitting the gas... SO SEXY :-)

Yay 3" studs!!! lol but i run these and these are going to be the only tires that i think im going to run on my summer wheels, until i get the ***** to spend $700 on 2 tires for the rear a season on R888's or RA1's. But for now and for my power, these tires work AWESOME!!! I'd say give them a try on street rims and see what you think. Guys with cobras love them and they have double what you and i have. lol

I got my slicks for 200 so im happy. They suit my needs. I was going to get nitto drs or some other stickier tires for the track but i DD my car so i cant afford to spend that much on tires every year.
