I need wheels/tires like this. Stock on left... meat on right.
You could probably just get some 275/40/17 drag radials since you're not tracking or driving in rain/cold.
A 275 drag radial will have more traction than a 335 street tire though, compound matters much more than width.
I don't know how well they handle cold, 40's is probably fine if you aren't a maniac.
No clue, a lot of supercharged vette guys run drag radials exclusively but they drive like 17 miles a year.
My random guess is that they'd last 1-2 years. IIRC the tires are a lot cheaper than wide street tires too. $179 each for Toyos right now

I'm planning on putting 18x10.5 or 18x11 rears on my Cobra in the spring with a 305/35/18 Nitto 555R drag radial. It'll be way overkill, but who cares haha. I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if you're looking for a street/strip tire or not. If you're going for the best hooking tire get a Mickey Thompson ET street II and be done with it though.
I have a lot of friends that use them, they're dicey in the rain but doable if you're careful.
Ballz. I commend NEEK on buying what HE likes, not what everyone else likes. :clap:
I beg your pardon? You haz Cobra too??? Deets, please.
Indeed I do. I am a weirdo on this site based on car tastes.
