If there were 305 or 315's in a STICKY street tire I would have gotten them instead of the 285's o well

Wait a tick. . . I know I have a quote around here somewhere from you saying that 305 was too much tire for you?!?! 315s rear I'm about to solve, 315s front - I dunno. Z33SM2 ran them (315 A6) on a front 18x11 -3 wheel with a pull with 335 rears on 18x12.5 -14 monsters. Previously, he ran 295/315 A6 on 18x9.5 +20 and 18x10 +20 with just a roll.

Around here 315's are no go until the weather gets warm. I probably said something about not being able get 305's up to temp except in the summer. I am still mulling it over, but it is a thought for the hot summer months.

If I had some 315's anywhere near me Id be willing to pay to have them mounted and unmounted to see if they would fit upfront on my new wheels.

Toyo R888s, TWR = 100 (certainly streetable) come in 305 and 315 (as well as 285 and 295!)!

Your index is only slightly better than mine when you are on street tires. Not that anyone else here will know what that means lol.

Haha umm I guess drifting with quite a bit of negative camber and a horrible alignment is a bad idea....

your hurting yourself...

I'm doing the same thing but with cheapo tires before I slap on the real deal...

I know those tires are expensive...try buying used tires or runflats for the testing and drifting stuff..
