1.997 255/50-16 Gatorbacks 2.73:1 14.1 ET
1.887 255/50-16 BFGoodrich Comp T/A 3.07:1 13.7 ET
1.907 315/35-17 Dunlop SP8000 3.07:1 13.6 ET

I ran better a better 60' on the BFG but my car just hooked that run, I think my 2nd best 60' was 1.94-5 on those tires. I have also run a 1.91, 1.92, & 1.97 with the 315's the only time I took them to the track.
