The fit, finish, and functionality of your kit is something to envy man. Not all about the numbers, if it runs as smooth as you say it, I think you've got something there. To me, I wouldnt numbers chase. Especially at 4 digits LOL


Btw, have you tried out those MTs yet? Any review you give them?

***UPDATE!!!!***

The 305/35/18 Mickey WORK!!!!! 🤘🏻😬🤘🏻 I did a 40 roll which puts me in 2nd gear, holy crap!!!!! I think I spraint a neck muscle or something. I grips like crazy, it was still slipping I could feel it but very controllable and picked up quick . Those pull I tried out were at 15 psi approx 725whp and it's like 90* outside right now and tire pressure was at 35psi all I need is to drop the pressure to 20psi and its destroying time!!!

Ok people "And Another One!" Another update, I went out to a buddy's house and we had to go get some beers. So I told him let's go on my Z I need to see other peoples thoughts on how my car feels. So I did a 40 roll to 120 at 10psi (610whp) and he was already like Fuuuuu!!!! So since I had lowered my tire pressure to 25psi I went ahead and did a 40 roll to 140 at 15psi (725whp) and it HOOKED!!!! If felt so freaking awesome, so I did a couple of more pills like that until I felt comfortable. Then after leaving my friends house almost getting to house, I said " hmmm.... Let me try a 40 roll at 20psi (800whp) so I pressed the button setting 3, I punched it!!!! Dayum Smoked the tires!!! Freaking sounded NASTY like if I had Open Dumps 😬😬😬 I was like " ok, not doing that again!"

ditch the rear akebonos so you can get tires that get traction.
then, if needed, get a parachute.

I'd try switching tires and slightly bigger sidewall first. Pretty sure You can still run 16-17 with the Akebonos.

I'd look into something like 305/45/17 or 305/45/18 ET street Rs or straight up ET streets
