what kind of rims are they chad? yea email them to me at aggieguy8102@yahoo.com. id like to see 'em. jeremiah got some mickey thompson's on his, i think his are 255's too, but not for sure about it. i guess i could always get some of those but its sill winter (eventhough we've had temps in the 70's for 5 or 6 days now), and i wouldnt want to take a chance driving around in drag's when there's snow on the ground. but i think those are one of the few brands that make 255's anymore.

theyre some enkies off my dads car, i decided to just post here. sorry they are so big, i dont know how to make them smaller. i dont think id bother with any drag radials just yet, weve only gotten that one freeze so far so im guessing by about spring break it should snow again the only thing i know about drag radials is that nittos seem to take a lot of heat to make em stick. enjoy the pics

Yokohama makes a 255/50/16. Avid V4's. I'm running them all the way around and get only a slight rub on full lock, but I am also lowered ~1.5 inch.

Mine only have 2000 miles, but I have not had any hydroplane problems yet. I wouldn't have got these except tires plus screwed up my falkens for 76$ so they gave an even exchange .

I'm running the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS 245/50R16's and had AWESOME traction up until the tread got down to ~2/32". I never hydroplaned.
