They are....but Grn92LX suggested 3923's. That's what I was basing my comment on.

Good to know in any case

They are expensive, but I absolutely love my Toyo R888's. They are more of a road race/auto x tire, but grip REALLY well, and you dont have all the wonky sidewall flex for unstable cornering. They are also much better in the rain than the Mickey's I ran before, in case you happen to get caught in an occasional shower. I just have stock coyote power, and I have managed to burn up my clutch more than the tires. At the same time, I have learned I like burnouts and donuts more than the VERY rare stop light affair, so I wont be investing the money in them again, because they hook that well.

PS, congrats on those numbers. That is a well put together combo.

The toyo proxes TQs are a great drag radial for a car that sees frequent use. Best wet rating and wear much better than Nittos.

I'm still a fan of MTs over anything if we're just talking traction. And never suggest a Nitto for anything personally.

I've got Toyo T1rs on my car and they actually do really well from a roll for a non DR. Would have done a TQ radial if I could have

I remember the AFR heads recommended 3924's when I bought them, not sure if it's the same heat range that came from factory though.

After a little research I really like the Mickey Thompson Street S/S, but they don't offer a 245/45-17. Has anybody put a 275/40-17 on a 17x8 rim?

Yep 3924 for a typical n/a set up, same plugs I use. 3923 for boost. $10 swap

I have to ask. Isn't 20 degrees a little industrious for a stock block?

Those look awesome, by 10.5 do you mean a 10.5" rim?

LOL @ hold your nut sack.

It's literally snowing in April in central Ohio today. It's torture having a dirty, 500+ horsepower car in the garage with this weather...this is bullcrap.

Anybody run M&H drag radials? I seen where they have a 245/45-17 tire now available, although they seem to be a bit pricey.
http://www.mandhtires.com/M-H-Drag-Radials/245-45R17#.Vwk1rOArLnA

I would really like to stick with a 245/45-17, or something close, to avoid having to buy another set of rims. I have a set of Mickey Thompson cheater slicks that I could buy a set of 15"/5 lug rims for, but those things drive horribly on the street. I should probably sell them.

The M&H is a great radial also. You're gonna wanna do a 245 on an 8". It'll fit a 275 but it's gonna bulge like crazy and you'll be wasting all that added width

M&H racemasters don't last very long either though. 5k miles or so if you treat them like a drag radial lol

Loved the Racemasters! Great track tire. And they only lasted one summer for me...probably 2k miles and a lot of track use(guessing 50 passes/burnouts etc).

Here they are on my....mustang...in a 325/45/17.

If they look like they're on backwards that's just because they are on backwards

That's an old off toad trick, to prevent braking an axle.....but that's probably not why you did it.

It was done strictly for off-roading purposes
