what did u do with the old tires?
and why not 305's? Wouldn't that be a good in-between size?? 3__ + or go home!!
how much different is the grip? After having the stock pirellis, I don't think I would ever buy them again

Have them for sale. And there aren't many 305/35/20s.

the amount of money you have pissed away on this car in the last year blows my mind! Kudos to you for having a budget for that. (no seriously, I'm jealous) I was done months ago, and I can't see changing anything, other than possibly my wheels down the road.

3__ or go home? You have something special under the hood for those?

the factory torque numbers are enough to break the tires loose when shifting into 3rd. So are you saying you can have too much traction? They are still street tires...a set of 305/35's still won't hook as much as a set of Mickey Thompson's. Its better to have traction now and make power upgrades later...especially since a s/c kit costs over $6k and will void the warranty. Plus a wide set of tires in the rear just looks awesome. You know, the LT5 engine in the C4 ZR1 made 370-385 ft lbs of torque depending on year, and it had 305's on the rear.

You decide on wheels yet? I know you've bounced back and forth on a few. I think wheels are the toughest decision in modding which is why I always buy so many lol
