Yes, please. I drove 1500 miles of the Power Tour last year on the 18" version of that tire, including in the rain, with no issue. Would I want to road race on it, absolutely not, but it is fine for driving on the street so long as you don't mind all the rocks the tires will pick up and throw.
You guys have me second guessing myself now. I hadn't heard anything about any problems with the Mickey's. The Nittos I have on my old wheels drive absolutely great. Even in rain. Do they just feel unstable on the road?
I've been using Nitto NT05R's in 345-30-19's on my old GS wheels and they have actually been very good tires.. 1.60 60', I'm going to use TPMS this time as I've been running without them. Haven't had any issues, its just easier now that they self learn.
I have the same wheels and tires left over from my GS. Are you saying that you are running rear wheels without the TPMS and it's not affecting the way the car runs/performs? Is the two rear DIC pressure readings reading zero? If you can run rear tires without TPM sensors and not have any operating issues that is good to know and will save some people money if they choose to.
However I am also thinking that installing the sensors may be a bad thing for drag radials, etc. because if you lower the pressure enough to cause a low pressure warning on the DIC will that cause the car to cut performance?

Is that true??? The low tire sensor pulls power???
Anyone know the answer to this question? I always run below 24lbs Sensor always on!!
My GS wheels don't have tpms in them. So far it hasn't been a problem with my 16 Z06, but I haven't driven very long with them. My local 1/8 th mile track is only about 10 miles away. They just read XX. On my GS it would throw a code and not allow Comp Driving mode. So far the 16 hasn't done that. I just figured I would install them on my new reproduction wheels and only drop the psi at the track. After I would air them back up and drive from there.

Tom, where did you order reproduction wheels from.
Color and size??
Thanks

just very unstable on street stab the gas and cars will change lanes on it,s own if you drop the air to aprox 11-14 psi as per m/t it get's better
but still not stable, at the track it would shashay all the way down track

I wonder if you had a bad set. I have a friend who has them on a gen5 viper with some bolt on parts and a lot of nitrous. He runs 26 to 28 psi and roll races up to 150-160 and really likes them.
On a side note 11-14 psi seems a little low for a 3500lb car with DR's even at the track imo.

I've got a local guy that I get my stuff from. I saw the wheels at SEMA this year.
My car has the chrome wheels and I'm just getting 2 for the rear I'm putting the dr's on. I haven't paid him yet so sorry I don't have a price, he always gives me very fair prices. I'll call him and get the specifics if you are interested. The wheels should be in by next week.
Size they have both 19's and 20's in 12 inch wide.
