My first heat cycle will be the burnout box before my first run at TX2k haha
Ordering new tires today as my Hoosiers are now deceased. Just wanted to share that American Muscle no longer carries these tires.

I did find them at Autoplicity.com for $598.82 shipped however. Just sharing for the next guy whose shopping for a pair.

What are you guys running as far as rear shocks? Or coilovers? I'm thinking of going coilovers on the rear to help with better "squat". Also looking at bushings.

Thoughts?

I opted for the 325 M&Hs this time around as I wanted a taller tire and to get the most I can out of each gear. I would go this route personally with the amount of torque your big nitrous setup is making.
So how do you like these tires? Aside from Hoosiers, have you run ET STreet IIs or anything else before? I'd love to hear your opinions on M&Hs over anything else you might have tried?

Thx

I'm running 275s now and for the first time in a long time I'm able to pretty much hook second on the street. Oh what a feeling! With 325s I'd spin the rears something serious.
