Oh man, I almost bought these tires two weeks ago. Instead I went some Sumitomo HTRZs that were on sale for $96 a piece (255/50/16). I figured for $96 a tire, if I didn't like them I could just burn them up and get something else next year. I have been very suprised with the performance of these cheapies. The Sumitomos grab really well compared to my old BFG Comp TA ZRs. I'm gong to the track soon to see exactly how they compare. The best I could do the BFGs was a 2.3 60ft. I bet I cut less than a 2.0 with these. I'll post the results when they're available.

What RPM do you leave at? What size tire are you running?

Thanks
