Yep,255/50/16 is the right size . I am jealous that is what I am wanting now.Good job.

Go with the 255's. The 295's with 12.09 section width won't even come close to fitting with GTA fronts without a frame notch.

Did you purchase the tires recently, and if so, where? Every place I have contacted said they were on national backorder.

I run the 255's on mine. GTA fronts. Works great. 1.701 60 at 4 psi a few weeks ago with a not very track experienced driver. Tires were at 18 psi. :biggrin:

Do you run spacers?

 

[Mark E.]

No spacers. No notch (yet)

Which compound seems to work the best? R2?

Also, what rim/tire combo works best up front for a street/strip car?
