I have a very similar experience... but the 275/50r17 M&H.

Nice! My R888's are 275/40ZR17
Let's see how they hold up.

My truck isnt nearly as fast and spins off the line in 4wd. I am considering slicks to get better launches both from shorter tires and added grip.

When the track opens back up, ill be ready to try again..im curious as to what mine will run after the tune and LT's..surely it wont be too fast but id like to see low 14s if possible..future plans are a small cam, converter and maybe some spray every now and then
