What do you guys think of these? I THINK it's what most of you are running good times with, I'm a bit confused as they have changed the name recently.

Thanks.

The only one I know that used to run those was motorhead350, he said they worked for him.

MT ET streets for me.

Those are not for 18' wheels. Reload and try again.

Not what I asked.. Those running these have them on 16"ers.

Yep that is correct, you would think since I was gun ho about getting into the 12s being NA these would be like a lucky charm for me lol.

FormulaMarauder, yes these will work just fine.

If you have 3.55 gears it will give you an 3.89/3.90 effective rear gear.
If you have 4.10 gears it will give you an 4.43 effective rear gear.

You will need to have a tune for these because the Revs Per Mile is a lot higher since they are a shorter tire. RevsPerMile for 255/50-16 is 775.

Yeah, too bad they don't make them for 16"ers in the size I need. Who knows, I may get them for the 18" stockers down the road.
