Default New ET Street Radials!...
I just ordered a set of the new 315/35/17 ET Street Radials that I'm gonna put on a set of 17x11 Fikse for my 03 Z06. I've got 500+rwhp but still have the stock drivetrain.I've been debating on going ahead and getting a built diff with the 3.90 gear. I know I'm probably gonna have to replace the output shafts soon.Any opinions from the experienced croud on how they think these tires will perform?

I'd do the hardened output shaft (~$250) and a DTE differential strut brace (~$400) and call it good.

I have the DTE brace already on and I have the left LPE hardened output shaft in my garage but haven't put it on yet.
