225/50/16s just on the rear of my T2. It has worn out suspension and some tokico blue struts. Anyhow- Do not buy these tires. They are like street drag radials. The *** end floats around on the freeway when switching lanes. You can feel the sidewall is way too soft whenver you turn. I haven't been able to break them loose laterally cornering, but the initial sidewall flex is horrible.However for drag orientated cars they hooked really really well. They are super sticky and the tread life rating is super high, 360. They pretty cheap at near $100 a piece. My buddy is gonna be pist I bet, I orderd a pair of these for his car too.

I'm going to swap the tires to the front and make sure somethings not wrong with my suspension, but I swear this supra I drove felt the same way on these tires. Matt you might as well just keep them for when we go out draggin, seeing as you want to get bigger rims and tires anyhow.

Mounted my falken ziex ze 512's today. Do not buy these tires for everyday use. On 1revvin7's car, the "floating around" was really bad, not as much on my car because he has worn out suspension. Going around corners somewhat fast is out of the question because it feels like there is no lateral grip whatsoever.



But other than that i dropped clutch at 3500prm and no spinning whatsoever. these tires hook up incredibly.
