so, as most know, i finished off my old tires due to having purchased some new et drag radials for my street tires. well, i finally got them mounted this weekend. And WOW!, what an incredible tire. its amazing to actually have traction in first gear! i am amazed. tried launching it fairly decently (about 1500, nothing to crazy, since its not the track!) from a light, and lemme tell you, the traction is just insane!! i got the 305/35/18 for my cobra, and the fit is great! what an awesome tire. i would highly suggest it if your looking for insane traction on the street!

this is the tire...

Nice. Did you take first gear to the end? If so, did you have to pedal it a bit or could you stay in it all the way?

you can hold the pedal to the metal all the way through. the only way to spin them is dumpin the clutch from the start. otherwise, its like having the slicks on. massive traction in all gears!

Nice, I was going to go with those initally but decided to go with the Hoosiers. I may give them a shot once mine are done, for some reason they are holding up pretty well.

Are those on a 10" rim? Wonder if they run wider than the Nittos I've got, which resemble slicks at this moment. They look good though! Wonder how long those are gonna last!

yes, it is a 10 rim. on mt's site it says the 305 has a 12.5 tread width... they look mamoth!! i love it. as for how long they last, hmmm... dunno. more worried about other stuff in the axle peacing out from jumpin on it too much. lol...

Awesome! I've been waiting for those to come out in that size. They've said those have been on the way for a year. Where did you get them?

The 305s were almost 27" tall!! killed gearing so i sold them for 300 i wish id known you could have bought them, i went back to the 315 and after only 800 miles they are toast! and dont grip they are car selling for 250 for the set.

yup, i woulda bought them. i have been extremely happy with mine. i have plenty of traction. i don't drive my car that much, so they will hold up long enough for me.
