You can buy my tires. I have that exact tire combo (245/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rear) on my car which I have put about 3000 miles on. They look pretty much brand new. I want to try the new Toyo's and have been thinking about selling them. I'm outside of Rochester if that's not to far you could check them out or I could send you pictures.

How much do you want for them and you can email me pics to SixRB6@aol.com.

Give me a tread view side view and whatever else you think will be helpful

The exhaust sounds very mumbled and there is a noticeable difference in a loss of power.. its not a good thing because it causes a lot of backpressure that could damage your engine.

Thanks Tonio. I have done some more searching and found other threads. it sounds like what I am experiencing may be the R/T's collapsing.

I have a set of Crawfords sitting at home I bought last year & never put on so I am going to try and find a shop to switch them out this week to see if that does the trick.

You will more than likely need to re-tune your car after you put on the Crawford cats . Your gonna gain some boost because they are more restrictive . I gained 1.5psi when I switched

Thanks Booger, that's what I thought anyway. I plan a tune after any intake or exhaust mod. I had Crawfords on a long time ago and I remembered that they were more restrictive. I think they were a little quieter than the R/T's too which is a plus. I just hope it is the cats that are causing my current woes and not something else. I will update after I have them changed out.

Mine collapsed when I was at the track .Thought I had broke something inside the motor . You will be able to tell once you get them off . The metal inside pushes out in the middle and the reast collapses down and plugs up the exhaust ....good luck

Just got a call from the shop. The passenger side cat is collapsed. Now the problem is they are telling me there is not enough room on the Crawfords to weld a bung for the wideband before the cat! I am pretty sure my old Crawfods had the bung there.

Those of you with Crawfords, can you verify if the wideband was successfully welded before the cat?
