it is just the 555's need heated a lot more than the BFG's. in a way it is good but on the flip side of that you are wearing expensive tires out much much faster....if you really want to go all out at the track you can accually 225/50/16 tires! I put a set from my friends GST on my car last year(never got to run with them cause the stupid track closed) and they fit fine. the front end feels heavy but they have awesome traction and they didn't rub on the fenders at all. the car also looks mean. the tires stick out past the fenders like slicks

My goal is to get to the strip this Saturday. Got some Kosei K1s (15x7 - 13.8lbs a piece) and BFG Drags. We will see if I can beat my 2.095 60 foot (on stock RE010s) I hit 13.6 at 107mph on those tires, now new kicks, 440cc, and the Z10 - let's see what happens!!

Well as you probably have seen my time slip, the BFG's played a big part in my goal of hitting 12's this year. There were other mods too, but traction is key!! Slicks next year!
