What Brand are they? They look like they fill up wheel wells nicely. How do they ride? Are they quiet? Chromer.

Marty Usher POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:San Antonio, Texas, United States Registered: Jun 2001 Admin Use	posted 12-27-2003 08:58 AM Todd - what fun would it be if I didn't push the car every once in a while. That's why they make parts to repair the motors! Ken - they are quiet now. I wonder about tire noise as they begin to wear. The rears are rated at 420 so they should last a little longer than my old Dunlops. Both front and rears are Cooper Tires fronts are 235/40/17, rears 305/45/20 The rear treads are 10.26 wide and 30.66 diameter. (My American Racing Torque Thrust wheels I bought from RealRod are offset and additional 3/4 " from stock) John - I have about 5000 miles on them now and after grinding a bit on the frame they don't rub any more that I have noticed, but I have not really pushed it through any hard turns lately. I have not been driving it much as I am driving Rebecca's 2002 Ford Escape with for sale signs on it trying to sell it. I would probably not get the 40 aspect fronts and stick with the stock size because of the ride quality. However the fronts do grip better than stock.

Are you going for a record? Chris - you're just pissed because I did not buy them from you and now my tires fill the wheel wells better than yours. Loan Ranger - this is my third set of tires. I have 68,000 miles on my kat and probably used the nitrous switch for a few too many burn outs. The Dunlop rear tires only lasted about 25,000 miles. The fronts still had about 50% tread but had been mounted on the original rims that were bent for so long that even on new wheels they would not balance.

Also, has anyone seen Mickey Thompson's new drag radial?? Cool tread design... http://www.modularfox.com/new/dr2.jpg ------------------ Bryan MAC Motorsports Intake

The photos I poosted arepretty lousy, but I bought Torque Thrust II's form RealRod - they have polished outer rim with gray spokes. I'll have to check out the MT drag radials to see what sizes are made.
