Your fingers will hurt when you get home. Not as bad as ET streets, but not good.

255/50/16 M/T DRs on 16x8 GTAs. 17psi at the track and 25 or so on the street. No problems in the rain either.

I run about 25# on the street and 14# at the track with great results... As for the rain....... When taking the car to Tennessee for Puddin' to babysit while I'm on deployment, i ran into some rain.... I'm pretty sure I nearly sucked the upholstry off my driver's seat due to the extreme "pucker factor"... I had to keep it at or below 40mph with a strong grip on the wheel to keep it from wiggling.... No fun....

Are those your times with those rims? I'm running the same rim but wanted to know if I should be running a 15' rim vs a 16' rim. Thanks for a response.

Yes and no. Those are the times for my old setup. The 11.98 stock turbo run, and 11.99 run to back it up, were made on BALD 275/50/15 MT DRs. Track prep was great. Best 60 on those was a 1.64 I believe, but I'd have to check my slips from last season.

The best 60' so far with the new combo on the 255/50/16 MT DRs is a 1.66 or so. Pretty good for a half used tire, I'd say.

I have a set of 15x8 steel wheels Im gonna mount some new 275/50/15 Mickeys on, so I can save the 16 inchers.

My set of 255/50/16s was about $365 from my good buddie's tire shop.
