Few questions

Does anyone know anything about BFgoodridge Super sport tires? The owner prefered them to Nittos 555.
For the RC is it betted have the 4 275s over the staggered?
Will the 275s rub? The car is lowered 1.5"

They say at 3/32 tread that I should consider changing them. Is that the same for Drag Radials? will they last this season? around 5000km?
Googling them say they are DOT cert. So are they actually good for street? Will i need 1" spacer for these?

I have not heard any recommendations for a staggered set-up for the road course.

I have minimal rubbing with 275 track tires mounted on 17"s. Track tires are wider than street tires, and some track tires are wider than others (my old Hoosier Cup's were wider than Nitto NT-05's). You will not rub on 275 street tires.

Thanks Matt

I can't wait to throw them on. I'm even thinking of throwing the battery back in so I can move the car to get to the other side.

I bought these last Sat and since then I've been having alot of racing day dreams Vrooom Vrooom!

Forget the battery. Just install a winch.

Nice score, I have to admit anytime I have bought or sold anything mustang related its resulted in an hour conversation as well, a bunch of good people out there.

If it was me: I would run the staggered Cobra R's on the street with (whatever tire you choose). Then put a set of 275 drag radials on a pair of the remaining 17x9's. I would use your Bullitt style rims for a set of RC tires. Are they 17x9 as well?


LOL @ the winch

[Styrofoam04]

The Bullitt wheels are Stock from the Premium edition GT. soo... 17x8 So buying the 17x9s was always on my wish list!

These wheels are soo fat

ran 305-35-18's on my old 2002,lowered and no problem with rubbing what so ever.....wish I had of went bigger(and not a drag radial)

[Styrofoam04]

^^^ So what your saying is that with these drag radials I will be really slow and hold up traffic on the elephants back in the rain?

[RedSN]

I will be really slow and hold up traffic

that's how I read it.
