If are trying to get these and expect traction, you have another thing coming.

+1 Use them currently as a Daily Driver and well they suck for traction. I shouldnt of been so cheap and just bought some BF goodrich KDWs or some drag radials. And why so big up front?

i thought the 275's would look good on them now, seeing that i have 245's on my 17x8 in rims now i thought i would have to step it up one and get 275's on the 17x9 in rims. why are 275's too big? besides these tires, what are some other cheaper ones that are better? what do you guys think is the best bang for the buck with tires besides d/r's because im tryin to get some miles on them before i have to replace them.

But, if you are plan on trying to run at a light or anything, don't expect a good launch out of them.

iono if i should get these or save for some 555's d/r. or i might just get the HTR's upfront and some d/r's in the back since the traction with these will prob suck. what do you guys think?
