Looks like i will probably be ordering a STIIs this weekend or next... Actually they are the cheapest tire, in a good directional soft tread tire that I could find... I wish someone would comment on how they hook....

thats the first site i saw...


What you think about me goin from a 275/60/16 (28.9x10.8) to a 265/70/16 (30.6x10.4)?

Want to get my RPMs back down with the 80E.. the 28" tires and 3.42s put me about 2150 at 70mph..

Way better. You still won't hook but you will turn less RPM.
