I might have stumbled onto some cash to throw at a pair of these.....

I have a spare set of 17 inch bullitts I would throw these on.....

I have heard GREAT things about these tires (compared to the Nitto and BF G drag radials). For those who have them, how do you like them? Also, what is the overall diameter of the tire when mounted? I was reading on a few other sites where some people said the tire is actually an inch higher than the specs list it as. With my fronts (on the 18s) in the 26-plus area, I want to avoid the rear dropping too much if the diameter is that much smaller.........

Thanks!





(was looking at ordering from Jegs...)

 

I would like to know this as well

 

Well, it sounds like you are planning on using these wheels and tires for strip use only, a good idea. I had the same idea myself, just waiting for the money to come in. I was thinking that on the strip it would actually be a good thing that the car is angled back...better weight transfer. But I don't mind looking a little goofy for that extra tenth.

I'm running MT 275/40-17's at the track. I really like them. I have been running them at about 17-18 psi. I just measured mine, and they are just under 26" dia... and a tad shorter when on the car.

I have not dropped my car, so they look quite short on it. But then again, when I'm at the track, all I car about is traction, not looks.

 

Couple more:

 

mikem used the same setup all year and they fit well on his bullit wheels. I ran them on my car and they were great.

I plan on doing the same in the spring. Ditto on Jegs, free shipping. These tires were on nationwide backorder for a while, I wonder if they still are.

 

I got mine in late October... after the national backorder.
