Default Sunday night kill story :)

Local cruise night. I was crusin beside my friends 2002 dakota r/t, a super charged buick regal, and a gtp. We all got caught at a red light. The streets were dead so we thought is was a safe time to race. The light turns green, and we all give er. My tires are spinning like crazy and i'm fish tailing all over the road (really time for some new shoes on my car!) :yesnod: i finally straighten out and we're all pretty close together. We hit about 30 k and i pull on everyone and keep pulling even more the faster we get going. I worked the r/t and the gtp but the regal was only about 2 - 3 car lengths behind me. Good times! :D :seeya

I think sizes depend on what kind of performance you plan on wanting out if it. Whatever you decide, I got a set of Goodyear GT II white raised letter tires and I really like them. Hold road VERY well and look very nice. I have always been partial to RWL tires on some vehicles.

p.s.-nice kill story
