Funny thing about that. I nailed it from a stop last night right after I put em on and those 315's I bet didn't get a full revolution on em before they just HOOKED and went :smash: I might just try these on the track one time :lol:

Nice new sig Rich, whose motor you got in there :D :cool:

Nice! I just put a set on mine. They are pretty mean, although with the 3.73s I can still smoke 'em quite a bit before they will hook.

Cool!

Rich sent me a few engine pics with the new goodyears on there. LOL once he told me the price tag, I told him I'd stick to my Kumho's.

Cool lookin' tires though, I'll bet they are very good in the wet.

Ya Jay they are SPENDY, if Khumo made a 315, I'd be there! I'm guessing you're running 9.5's around. I really wanted the 11's on the rear, tire choices are very limited.

Clemson, 11" 315/35's out back, 9.5" 275/40's up front :yesnod:

I was really surprised, I didn't flash the converter though, just nailed it from a stop no brake, I'm sure I could smoke em, but I was VERY impressed. I drove about thirty miles on a joy ride today, before it started raining, looking for somewhere to take some nice pics.

I took about 20, but when I went to look at them most showed no definition to the wheels and tires. I'm gonna have to work real hard on lighting to get some pics with good detail cause the whit is so bright it's hard to get enough lightr to the wheels to get them to stand out without washing ou the rest of the car :(

I'll get it figured out one of these days. The car looked really sinister without the wheels showing up good though, espescially with the dark clouds in the background :cool:

No driving in the rain yet Jay, cars clean and I don't have a need to go anywhere yet, but it won't be long and I'll know, the rating is very good, but what 315 is gonna handle very well in the wet?
