    yes they do work good. it used to bog my motor hard with my 3.90s if i didnt lanch the car at 5500 or more. i used to cut 1.6s and 1.7s with out even trying to cut a good time. but it does sway a bit on the top end and freeway

    How much air did you run in them at the track.

    Sway is fun. Keeps you sharp.

    problem is im not sharp


    I would run them with about 13-15psi. I think 15psi was best for me. they are good tires for 17s, atually i think they are the best for 17s.

    you not liking those diamond wheels Jeff?

    The ugly diamonds are great. LOL

    I get tired of changing tires at the track.

    I don't think I can pull much better than a high 1.5 on the stock IRS. So if I can do it on a 17" ET Street that would be great.

    No if I can just stop killing clutches I would be fine.

    Twin Disk or Spec 5 going in next.

    I found 14.5 to be the sweet pressure on the 26"
