Ya you only need one really modded tbss lol. I'm interested in seeing how that ported tbss intake turns out, I plan on adding a tbss intake to my truck. Just want to know if its worth the $400 to do it.

I ran the M&H drag radial last year on the street. They wore out in 5 months. They don't seem to hook very well (for me) at the track, but grabbed real well on the street.

I have the 295/45 17 M/T's that I just picked up last week and the truck hooks really good on them. I don't see why they won't fit on a 7.5 rim, I ran 295/45 18's on my 18x7.5 rims without any issues.

They are soft and sticky, which is a very good thing unless you're trying to drive it on the street all the time with them.

Really? Idk either, thats just what I've been told. I'm sure there's plenty of people running a 295 on a 7.5 rim. Anyone else? Oh if I was to drive on em it wouldn't be for more than a mile or 2 at a time.

i would go with mt also i ran 1.64 with them also let the truck lean back nothing wrong with it.

I plan on running the mt, now its just which one. From some people I've heard 275 is the limit, but others say 295 will be fine. Just gotta figure that out and I'll be good. Btw I like your quote on the bottom of your sig...

I will...I found it interesting that the recommended rim width difference between the 275s and the 295s are only a 1/2inch.
