Anyone running this tire?

[Roush150]

Hello gang just wanted to see if anyone was running this tire. I think I'm going to try these tires out but would like to see some pix first of them on an L, since they come in 285/60 and not the 295/45. I would like to see how different these are.

Thanks

The sidewall is going to be way taller on the 60 than the 45 would be

I really wanted Goodyear to make the Eagle F1 GS-D3 for our trucks.
Same goes for the BFG KDW tire as well.

Nitto.

Thats the size I use on my Expy with the Lightning rims. WAY taller.

According to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

3" taller. (28.5 vs 31.5)

Kumho for the street, I think they suck but they are CHEAP!!! :banana:epper:


I prefer having cheap street tires and spend the money on real tires (on a second set of rims) for the track:thumbsup:

Eric are you using 555s all the way around or dr's out back?

 

[Roush150]

What about Mickey Thompsons I see they offer a 305/45R18 ET STREET RADIAL? Anyone have those?

All I see for their radials are a 305/35/18 and a 345/35/18.

I guess we could call and find out :shrug:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe a 305/35-18 is pretty close to the same diameter as the 295/45-18. I know Toyo RA-1's and Hoosiers slicks in 305/35-18 will fit the stock rims and fit with no issues, so I assume the M/T's would as well.

295-45 = 28.4"diameter.

305-35= 26.39" diameter.

As far as the M/T's go...

Here is what they will be offering:
part # - size - size equiv - weight - compound - appprvd rim - meas rim - sw width - td width - diameter - circ
3785R† - P305/35R18 - 27 X 12.50R18 - 31 - R2 - 10.0-11.0 - 12.0 - 12.5 - 11.5 - 26.39 - 82.9
3788R† - P345/35R18 - 28 X 13.50R18 - 35 - R2 - 11.0-13.0 - 12.0 - 13.89 - 12.8 - 27.5 - 86.3


I saw and spoke with a manager there at SEMA for a good 30 minutes. What he said was the 305/35r18 can be ordered at that time and by Dec. sometime they will be shipping. Summit has them for sale already. Any size tire can be correctly adjusted for in these trucks by calibrating your speedo in the tune and the final ratio by your rearend gear ratio if you are set in stone on a certain tire...

As far as the 345/35r18, well he said they wouldn't be out until after the new year, but I think this is what I will be trying on some widened stock rims. Even though the manager said they wouldn't be out until after the new year, look at this pic I snapped real quick like...

Man those look sexy ... Stan

Mickey Thompson's ET Street Radial size 305/45R18 is not out yet. They've been talking about releasing it for about 2 yrs now but nothing yet

 

[runs2rch]

Stan how much would you widen the stock rims? An inch like Eric did?
