He does not drive them on the street at all though.
On his wheels - repro ZR1 wheels - they are 56 lbs a piece
My OEM 17X8.5 thin spokes with Hoosier 275/40/17 only weigh 40 lbs.
We both are pretty close in our 60' times. I do edge him out a little bit though

I just bolted mine on the other day, and i don t want to put my regular street tires back on! These have to be the BEST tires there are for hooking on the street/track.

p.s.- The 295's are almost 1 1/2" taller than the 315's are. (27.19" vs. 25.78") & about an inch wider for the 315's.
