idk if this helps. lol

Yup yup


really?


so like side wall softness and wear and tear?


Road noise and ride comfort really. Other than that it is pretty much just design and appearance




the load, speed, wear, traction, and heat ratings, and if some of them won't clear the fenders correctly. can u explain what to look for in a good tire?

That makes sense. The larger side walls tend to have a softer and less sporty ride.

I can get someone to pick up the tires for me any time next week now that I know they are located in Phoenix.

That's a good price which is a little less (~$10-$15) than what I could get them for. Anyway if you could get me the exact price picked up, that would be great.

Thanks

i had map switching so i ran 360hp on 91octane.

i ran E85 with the 505hp. MPGs are horrible with E85 as it is. i could go thru three tanks in a day easy.

You can run a 235/40/18 if you want on stock rims without rubbing, even on a beefy tire like a KDW, unless you are really lowered. Sportlines will still clear 235's from my experience. In tires that run smaller, like the General UHP's, you could get away with a 245/40, but those tires suck something awful.

The 555 is a 'big' tire, a 235 should fill out the wheelwell nicely and look great.

ok so the 245's are on. they are really beefy. 35lbs of pressure all around..

Im tooned and almost full bolt ons and i can barely chirp a tire in first...

these things HOOK like a mother ******!!!!

people said that they look like balloons. wich i do slightly agree with because the sidewall looks big. but still. I FREAKING LOVE these tires.

and they hook way btr than the contis ever could.

4 damn sho. no more chirping means they might even last me longer. And thicker tires will fill in my wheel gap a bit left over from sportlines. Sounds like a win win
