Arrow GENERAL GRABBERS uhp- tires in general ->

Who is running this tire. I am in desperate need of new rear tires, just found out that the kumos im running are on national back order for 6-8 weeks .. I am looking for a sticky tire for the street, have not been able to find one for a 16 inch rim, that is the correct size(28-29in) SUCKS post up what you know..

Thanks

I got them on my GMC, 275/45R20, they ride great and seem to have decent traction on the street. I definitely like the way they look too.

I had some before, I liked them. I have since switched to a different wheel and now I am running the new toyos and I like them better than the uhp's

285 65 16 bfg radial t/a's get pretty damn sticky they damn near killed the motor after the burnout last time at the track. in my case the 285 /65 is overkill, but still a good tire.

FERK, that is a 30 inch tall tire, man I hate 16 inch rims, this blows ***... I might have to opt for the 30 tall rears though..
