meh, huge tire's are nice...... but how are they griping?


id much rather have a smaller mickey thompson et street radial, then a 315 that still slide's around.


im running 235's mickey thompson et street radial's and they grip real good, barley warm them up, and like 22psi with a 75shot and dident spin at all
(remember im automatic, so it might be different with a 5spd)



good looking for sure


post more pictures when you can!

Sumi's are soooo cheap

I can get 275/40/17's for like $65 per tire

lookin good though, just stay out of the snow and you will be fine

i have..or had i guess the same setup for rear as his..the 315 sumi's...and yea on the track they were worthless...but yes they are cheap and last decently when not abused..mine are bald now completely..but i already know im gettin tires before spring so they will be there when the car comes out..but they stick decently on the street...not clutch popping grab..but hammerin on it they sort of hold

Update on traction of the $105 tires... They actually grip pretty well on the launch, I talked to the guy at the tire store who runs them on his Camaro, he said theyre good for a few months, then they dry out and Im like this kid -
