275/40 street tire on my S10 would hold a 75 shot on solid concrete from a stop....

275/40 555r drag radial would hold the 125 shot on concrete from a stop

Do it.

Colorado, fully bolted, etc., on a 125 shot...the 555r's never worked here.

Just nut up and get some Hoosier radials that are just enough to be legal on the streets.

Well, tough.

From reading your posts over the past weeks, most of the things that work fine for most people, dont seem to work for you in the same way.

Story of my life. I think I need to exclude my opinions from every thread for that exact reason.

Nice little truck you got there, did you get someone to custom make you that turbo kit or does a company already have a bolt on system? Might be a dumb question but I have never looked into parts for your type of truck so thought id ask.

He pieced it together himself. There's no REAL aftermarket for the Colorado/Canyon...at all.
