Dude, id be scared S***LESS going around a turn at 95. lol not to mention with the 4.10's your car would be screaming too. lol i just topped out 4th in my car on sunday and i got around 110 before i stopped my pull. I was gonna continue in 5th but that would just be gradual, not explosive like the first 4 gears. but i dont think i'd be doing 95 around a turn in my car...not as it sits now anyways.

LOL the curves out here are very well setup. some are even banked. it is a good time. Often when im driving out there I get SMOKED by packs of guys riding bikes. They are doing 120 plus on these curves.

I dont race(yet), but even for any kind of spirited driving or getting on it from first and holding on, sumitomos are not gonna hold for sheit. Gotta have something that can hold what you got to the road. If you cant put what you got to the road, whats the use of having it?

I appreciate all the input. I think I am dropping the sumi's idea and leaning more toward General Tire UHP's now. I can get 265/35/18 for the front and 285/35/18 for the rear delivered for $740. I ran these tires on my stock bullitts for a while and was pretty satisfied with them. All I would have to do is shop around for a good install price. Nittos are just too far out of my price range.

If your rear wheels are 10" wide, get 295's if you can. They fit perfectly and will give you just a bit more tread on there.
