Nice. You're going to need BFG 345's aired down and heated up to even have a chance on the street.

Give these tires a try, they hook up alot better than the BFGs and Nittos. I had the Nittos on and got no tracion with them. The BFGs were better than the Nittos. The Hoosiers are better than either the Nittos or BFGs.
